average basically couple less local modeled pay runway shows worked
I basically modeled my way through college, doing local runway shows in L.A. that don't pay a lot and a couple of shows in N.Y. and S.F., and I probably made the same as the average 19-year-old waiter; I just worked less and was around beautiful girls, so it was nice.
believe attention pay
I don't pay too much attention to the positive reviews or the negative reviews because if you believe one, you've gotta believe the other.
pay bills wanted
There are so many of us that just do things to pay bills, but I never wanted that to be me.
along life played sports teaches team whether work
I've played sports pretty much my whole life, and that teaches you how to work with anyone, whether you like that person or you don't, and whether you get along with them or you don't. The circumstances don't matter. Team work is part of life.
amazing games huge sports video
I'm such a huge sports video game fan. These games are getting so realistic, it's amazing.
allow countrymen disorders energy extent fellow fullest jump obese passionate people shown sure time
When I jump into something, I really do it to the fullest extent that my time and energy will allow me. I'm from Texas, and to see so many people that are obese and with disorders that are preventable. They haven't been shown or told. I'm really passionate about making sure my fellow countrymen are healthy. It's a shame.
act acting directing director knew per saw school
I didn't act in college, per se, because I didn't want an acting degree. I don't know what you do with that degree. When I was 16, I saw 'Usual Suspects,' and I wanted to be a director as well. So I thought I should go to school for directing and producing, something I knew nothing about.
across huge love online stuck
I love 'Call of Duty;' I'm a huge fan, but I started off with 'Medal of Honor' and I stuck with what I knew. I never got into the online play with people, across the world, across the country.
klein male model since worked
I had wanted to be a Calvin Klein model since I was 17. Marky Mark in his Calvin Kleins was the epitome of male sexuality. That was something I worked for.
almost basketball camp knew stuff throw unlearn weird window
You had to unlearn all the stuff you thought you knew about basketball in '04-'05, throw all that out the window and get back to basics. It was weird because it was almost like going to a camp for nine-year-olds.
computer games genesis grew growing playing remember time video
When I was growing up, I was an '80s baby, so I remember the Sega Genesis and the first Nintendo. I grew up in a time when we first started playing video games on a computer screen. Now there are headsets and your body's the controller.
begins five impossible personal producers reasons separating
It's really impossible to put all five of them in the same scene, so it begins to look as if the producers are separating them for personal reasons when it really is all about the show.
along desperate greatly quite rivalry
Desperate Housewives. They actually get along quite well. The whole rivalry thing is greatly exaggerated. They're a real team.
believe conscious eat health life routine since trying work
I really believe in being health conscious and trying to eat in a way that makes you feel comfortable. I've been working out since I was 17 or 18 years old. It's just a way of life for me. If I don't work out, I feel weird. It's just about what your routine is.
