Quotes

• It's not the most comfortable thing especially I don't work out. I eat whatever I want, so (laughing) I definitely felt a little exposed.
• I don't like cattiness, or people who are too judgmental of others, or other situations.
• As a kid, I was mischievous, necessarily, but I always wanted to do adventurous stuff.
• I have exes I'm friends with and exes I'm not friends with. It depends on what you decide together. I do think that sometimes trying to maintain that bond can be healthier than walking away.
• I hardly ever remember my dreams.
• My first kiss was with a girlfriend. And it was at a party. I think I was hopeful that that would happen, but I didn't plan it. You know, honestly, I think if there's a little too much planning, it's almost just like self-sabotage. Because then, you want it to go a certain way and it just doesn't. And then you're like, 'Awww, why?'
• Ravenswood (2013) is horror. It's not slasher, but it's psychological and spiritual horror.
• I don't surf the web very much.
• When I was 17, I was excited to graduate from high school!
• I love women, and I just think that they're great. I mean, yes, they can be a little nutty sometimes, but they're great.
• With acting, it's like you form chemistry with different people in different ways, so it's really added even more fun to work, you know?
