My parents know how passionate I've always been about acting. I convinced them this was something that I was going to put my heart and soul into.

My heart lies in music and acting, however, my inspiration comes from adrenaline rush I get from sports... and life.

My ideal travel companions are my surfboard, wetsuit, and guitar.

I actually write my own music whenever I have a chance. I play guitar and sing.

Acting is what I love. I love being the chameleon, and you can't do that if you have just one physical type.

I've never really had a chance to play a bad guy, and that's something I've always really, really wanted to do. I wanted to experience that really dark side of a person.

I don't really have time to watch too much, but I like 'Family Guy' and 'Entourage.' I'm also obsessed with the YouTube series 'Balls of Steel.' It's hilarious.

When I was doing a movie called 'The Seeker,' I was fortunate enough to be able to do a lot of my own stunts.

My suitcase must absolutely contain my iPod.

I am always working out, whether I am on vacation or at home. When in La Jolla, I like to surf, play tennis, and golf - but surfing is definitely my favorite.

My favorite travel pastime is writing music, either with my guitar or on my computer.

We must, together as a nation, stop watching Fox.

Some memories aren’t meant to go down smoothly

I got a Valentine's Day card from my girl. It said, 'Take my heart! Take my arms! Take my lips!' Which is just like her. Keeping the best part for herself.

Only by avoiding the beginning of things can we escape their end.

Fools through false shame, conceal their open wounds.

Writing is manual labor of the mind: a job, like laying pipe.

No one questioned "who is a Serb, who is a Croat, who is a Muslim (Bosniak)" we were all one people, that's how it was back then, and I still think it is that way today.

There is nothing in this game of golf that can't be improved upon if you practice.

The news makes me sad, so I don't watch it.

Now you know I’m a reporter, so you might as well answer my question truthfully, or I’ll just keep asking it until you lose your mind. (Susan)
