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.

I've heard some pretty bad things in my life. I'm just one of those people I've gotten to a point where I don't want to be rude, but if it's uninvited attention from people it's like, "Thank you, but no." I'm going to shut you down right away.

I was a total education geek. I loved school. I loved learning. I loved doing homework. All of my books and notebooks from high school are underlined and highlighted and there are notes all over the margins. And you know, I was a theater kid too. I was all over the place.

Because I'm 5'4' and athletically built, if I gain five pounds it looks like a lot.

You never know what a movie is going to look like when you're shooting it and you just hope it's going to look like it's supposed to be.

Acting has been my passion from the minute I started. I was pretty young when I wanted to be a doctor, but when I started doing theater work as a freshman in high school, the first time I hit the stage I was like, If I can do this every day, life won't get any better!

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.
