I don't think anybody planned for me to be an actor. I didn't. I didn't know this was what I was going to do.

In general, I try to eat food without added hormones and pesticides, but I'm not so strict that I won't have a Big Mac once in a while.

Three to four times a week, I get up at 7:30 A.M. while the courts are empty at Venice Beach and play full court one-on-one.

I wanted to go on the red carpet with a baseball cap, t-shirt, and jeans. And I still do. Because that's really who I am.

You won't ever see me being totally sexy on 'Rookie Blue.' It's not right for the character, anyway.

As a drummer my job is to reproduce what made the people bop their heads when they first heard the album on the radio, or when they watched the music video.

Humility is becoming a lost art, but it's not difficult to practice. It means that you realize that others have been involved in your success.

Living in your dreams meant bitter disappointment when you woke up.

Intellectual understanding blocks empathy.

When you do try to picture the boys who do ask you out, they're absolutely featureless, like old carvings eroded by centuries of rain and wind.

People keep inviting me back. It's nice to work with the same people when you've had a good time previously, and this is one of those cases.

Liberty, Not the Daughter but the Mother of Order.
