I'm a pretty romantic person, I love little notes.
A great actor is simply just seeing him or herself, and reacting to what exists around them.
I'd always wanted to do a film than TV show because film is always where my heart has been. I like diving into the character for a few months, and then leaving it behind. I love the idea of that.

I had never been to Hawaii, and now I say that my body is from L. A. but my heart is from Hawaii, because I'm in love with it and it's home on every level, from a spiritual, soulful place.
I went to public school my whole life, graduated high school with my class. Growing up, I'd go to an audition, my friends would go to soccer practice and we'd all reconvene and hang out in our neighborhood. When I would book something, I would never tell my friends. Acting was just fun. I was a kid, I wasn't jaded.
