tough fit felt
I tried to be really tough when I was younger. I felt I had to stand up for myself. I never felt like I fit in.
emotional long watches
I don't watch the news. I get really emotional about it, and I carry that stuff with me for a long time.
parent admire raised
I really, really admire my parents so much, for how they raised me. They're some of the best human beings I know.
strong character play
I wouldn't want to play a character that knew everything and knew where to go. It is much more interesting playing a character that is vulnerable trying to be strong. It makes for better TV.
people kind cant-change
IMDb is kind of weird, because people can put things on there, but then I can't change it.
beach play venice
Three to four times a week, I get up at 7:30 A.M. while the courts are empty at Venice Beach and play full court one-on-one.
hero twilight thinking
I get recognized for 'Reaper' in the U.K. I was in Costa Rica and got recognized for 'Heroes.' In Canada, it's 'Rookie Blue.' People also think that I'm in the 'Twilight' series because of Kristen Stewart.
trying pesticides bigs
In general, I try to eat food without added hormones and pesticides, but I'm not so strict that I won't have a Big Mac once in a while.
sexy character blue
You won't ever see me being totally sexy on 'Rookie Blue.' It's not right for the character, anyway.
people matter connections
The people that matter to me the most are the people that are in my life. That's who I really learn from, and it's always a very personal kind of connection.
growing-up growing tvs
I didn't watch a lot of TV growing up.
thinking actors knows
I don't think anybody planned for me to be an actor. I didn't. I didn't know this was what I was going to do.
baseball who-i-am jeans
I wanted to go on the red carpet with a baseball cap, t-shirt, and jeans. And I still do. Because that's really who I am.
model playing role women
I'm really inspired by playing strong women. Anything that I can be a part of like that, to be a role model for young women.
