When you suffer a loss, there is before the death and after the death – those become your two existences and your two realities.
I love to box. I once took a kickboxing class in college and got totally hooked.
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.
My dream job is to be the Robin to Anderson Cooper’s Batman.
I’m not much of a revenge person, because I think when you start with revenge it cheapens what you’ve been through.
As a strong woman, there are things I would never put up with.
Me, I’d prefer to have a good reputation rather than getting press for being scandalous, getting drunk in public, staying out late and so on.
The hardest situation to stay happy in, I think, is when you’re trying to find love, and yourself at the same time. It just doesn’t seem to fit well.
There’s nothing that I love to do more than act and I feel really lucky to be in the position that I’m in, being able to do it as my job! If I ever do anything other than act, it will be in show business.
I think the most important recipe for a good date is just spending time with somebody and really connecting and feeling like the best version of yourself regardless of what you may be doing.
I will not vote for a candidate who thinks you can ‘pray away the gay;’ I will not vote for a candidate who thinks that he has more rights to my uterus than I do; I will not vote for a candidate who thinks that it’s okay to dump toxic waste in the ocean.
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 a very bizarre thing to have people very concerned with your life, but I don’t mind it because all that says to me is that they care about the show, and I can’t ask for anything more than that.
We’ve all known a John Tucker. We’ve either known one, dated one or our best friend has dated one. I think a lot of men at one point or another have been a John Tucker.
Whenever I’m around my guy friends, I’m always playing video games. I’ve always enjoyed the graphics side of them, how they look.
I was lucky. My family is wonderful. And it’s funny, because most of my best friends come from very large families. So it always felt as if I had lots of siblings, though in the end I had to leave them and go home. I kind of got the best of both worlds as a kid.
Getting wasted is only OK when you’re young enough to not know better.
I’m not a celebrity. I don’t call myself a celebrity. I’m an actor.
I love fashion because it can change to suit your mood. I’m very drawn to classic silhouettes, menswear-inspired pieces, and anything that feels a little French. I’m also inspired by Brit girl style.
I wanted to be a doctor when I was a kid, but I started doing theater in high school because it was a requirement. At first, I was completely irritated. But I ended up loving it.
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!
