We only have this one planet; we got to figure out how to live on it without destroying it.

Animals are just as important as we are.

I am inspired when I see goodness in other people. I am inspired by hard work and honesty. And I am inspired by nature.

I think actors' careers have highs and lows, and ups and downs. It just really all depends.

Models have a stigma that they can't act. You're also, to be quite blunt, you're tall and not a lot of actors are tall and when you are starting out you're obviously not the first one cast, so you're trying to fit into a mold. You're quite often not cast as the quirky best friend, but you don't have the experience to be cast as the lead. So it can be really tricky. One of the biggest things is just to get your people, so to speak, your agents and managers to take you seriously. That's one of the issues I had when I came out to LA.

I lump Canada and the States together. I like good old North American boys.

You just have to be persistent. I think that's one of the biggest things about the model industry and this career is being persistent and believing in yourself and also being ready when the timing is right. So much of it is about timing and luck, so to be ready when you get the opportunity.
