I try to stay fit and eat healthily, but I am not anxious to starve myself and become unnaturally thin. I don't find that look attractive on women and I don't want to become part of that trend. It's unhealthy and it puts too much pressure on women in general who are being fed this image of the ideal, which it is not.

It's important for people to figure out their own lives before involving someone else - to gauge where you are and work on your own issues.

I'm an actor for hire. It's important not to forget that you're disposable....When you have that mentality, you fight for the jobs you want.

You think that your life is going to be one way, and then, for various reasons or whatever, it doesn't work out.

I've always loved Louisiana and particularly New Orleans, and I think a lot of people when they travel there, think they're home there - there are just so many spirits, it's so rich in culture. It's steeped in a true spirit of individuality that makes this country. It's the oldest part of our story, in a way. And being in that climate, it was really conducive to letting our imaginations soar. I found it to be the true inspiration.

Growing up I never got into comic books at all. I didn't have any inspiration for it.

I went through this realization that acting, at its heart, is the ability to manipulate your own emotions.
