I didn't have an acting job when I moved to L.A. I was just naive enough to think that moving to L.A. was the next step after college. My parents were really supportive.

First stop when I'm on set is my trailer. I like to set my stuff down and lock the door. Be in my own space for a few minutes.

I'm quite a loner. I realized that I'm very introverted, and I get energy by being alone instead of being with other people.

I remember being interested in theater when I was in school, but I wasn't always engaged in making it a career. I was a cheerleader in Texas, but I tore my ACL, so I was out for the rest of the season. That's when I started putting more of my passion into theater.

Though involvement in music and the arts can't cure all the ills of society, I do believe that the inspiration they provide has the potential to help us reflect, at times, on the better angels of our natures.

As far as I can tell, most actors' main motivation is self-doubt and neuroses.

I've had that recurring dream since I was a child, and a lot of people have different versions of that same dream, where you're running away from something, and it's going kind of slowly, but it's catching up with you, and it will not stop, and you cannot get away from it. Those dreams are manifested in different ways, but most people have them.

I feel that I'm very much in touch with my father's spirit and presence. I feel it, sense it and take much energy and inspiration from that.
