Lauren Cohan

I'm a history nerd. Actually acting's the best job for somebody who loves weird, different stuff.

I like a challenge. I get such a sense of satisfaction when I push myself beyond what I thought I could do.

I had a couple of car accidents when I was in my early 20s, and I used to have such a bad back.

I was very skinny. You know when your knees don't even look like they're attached to your body? Kids at school called me 'Snap,' like my legs were about to snap because they were so thin.

Some people don't operate in that way: they can't understand how much strength comes from being compassionate and lifting other people up.

Giving blood, or being near a needle, is the absolute worst.

I always end up hurting myself doing something mundane. If I have to do some complicated stunt, I'm fine.

I love, love, love, Halloween. I love dressing up - I think it's rad!

I do actually sing; I love to sing.

I'd love to do Pat Benatar. Probably either 'Hit Me with Your Best Shot' or 'We Belong'.

Being deemed the most successful at prom does not mean you're going to do the best in your life.

The best way for me to put it is that if my spiritual life isn't bigger than my outside life, then I'm out of balance. I make my spiritual life a priority.
