I have walked away from friendships when I've realized that someone smiles to someone's face and talks about them the minute they walk out of a room. I have no room in my life for that kind of negative energy anymore.

So, I'm always around video games but I've always been interested in them from a visual perspective, with the graphic design and that whole thing. I don't know if that comes from my love of photography or what but that's always what's held my interest about them.

Regardless of what you plan on when you fall in love, significant others come and go in your life. Your friends are it. My friends are my everything.

I'd rather hang out with five people that I love than with 400 strangers at a club who are all doing the up-and-down inspection thing. They appraise everybody from head to toe - the outfit, the handbag, the shoes, how much they weigh... I can't stand it!

I get to experiment with a lot of looks with my character so that's really fun for me. It's like getting to paint a new canvas everyday.

In the initial season of a show, you're figuring out your character and their life and their background and you're putting together all the chapters of the book.

It's no secret - if you know me, have ever met me or have shared a meal with me - that I'm a passionate environmentalist.
