And anyway, modeling wasn't for me. I'm too short. I've got a big butt. It wasn't going to happen.

I didn't go to theater school. I didn't go to Julliard. But I've lived a lot. I've seen a lot. I feel like that makes up for a little bit.

I learned how to scuba dive, which is something that I've always wanted to do.

I like to go wakeboarding. It's my new favorite sport. It's like skiing but on a snowboard that has little shoes on it.

I love making characters real and believable, through my own experience and choices.

I moved to California not to pursue acting but to get out of Albuquerque.

I think brutal honesty is extremely important. Don't be afraid of being up-front about your feelings and your life.

I think Miami is such a beautiful, sexy, gorgeous place. I love the people there.

I was a tomboy, not a girlie girl.

I'm confident - confident in my skin, and I'm cool with my flaws and all that stuff.

In any solid, good relationship, it takes a while to trust someone.

In L.A. everyone is an actor. In Texas, everyone's a musician.

It blows my mind that anyone could be unkind to anyone.

No matter what you're doing, live it. Make an experience. Have fun. Relate to someone. Take them in. Learn.

I learned how to horseback ride in English style, which is very hard, by the way. I had no idea how challenging it was. I've always ridden horses, but Western is like riding a horse in a rocking chair, as opposed to English, where you have to balance and hold on with your legs.

I think the most attractive thing for me when I meet a guy is confidence and him being comfortable in his own skin. I like someone who doesn't need approval or validation.
