It's time to recognise the Armenian Genocide.

Remember, people only rain on your parade because they're jealous of your sun and tired of their shade.

If I don't like something that's going on in my life, I change it. And I don't sit and complain about it for a year.

I've made mistakes in my life for sure.

Embrace your curves and who you are. I feel proud if young girls look up to me and say, "I'm curvy, and I'm proud of it now".

I'm not trying to influence anyone else; I'm not saying, "Do what I do." I think it's a little pretentious to say, "I'm a role model"; I would never say that, and I don't think of myself that way.

I love when people underestimate me and then become pleasantly surprised.

Take and chance and don't ever look back. Never have regrets, just lessons learned.

I love the sun but don't have the time to get a good tan and keep it year-round, so I am a huge fan of tanning products.

I think I'll always be a hopeless romantic.

I have cellulite. So what?

My goal beyond being an actor, is just being an open channel.

I'm a romantic; a sentimental person thinks things will last, a romantic person hopes against hope that they won't.

Let's make really good stories that people get something out of. That's the one common denominator with everything I try to do.

The chance of war Is equal, and the slayer oft is slain.

All that counts is the truth. Without it you're basically just juggling people's daft ideas.

In the end, I play a lot of friends and I really think it's about time that some ethnic girls get out there in the lead part. So we're developing something.

I collect a lot of art.

While at college, I did my first lead on a network TV show, Medic.
