"I love going to work everyday, I basically get paid to to have fun and play and have a great time."

“I want to become a different person, and that’s what working in film allows. I want to be a punk or a sweetheart or a drug addict! There are so many things to explore... Sometimes they’ll be like, ‘She’s not plain enough.’ Or ‘She’s not edgy enough.' That frustrates me. I feel like a blank canvas, and I wish people would be a little more open-minded.”

[On why she choose to pursue acting] "Theater was probably my favorite thing, and that’s where I felt most comfortable. I loved creating characters, doing accents, being different people and exploring that side of myself. I’d watch all these films and envision myself in the roles, and I loved reading plays and scripts. I just decided to try it out and see where it took me."

"I love Alice + Olivia, BCBG, and Armani Exchange makes some really cool, fun daytime and nighttime dresses. I discovered this new brand called Gypsy, they make these awesome, amazing summer dresses. For like everyday, just kind of hanging out, I love flannels. Part of my closet, there’s a whole section of flannels because I love them so much. Slouchy, oversized hats and fedoras. I just got these 2 amazing hats that I really love, blue and gold trim with woven material by D&Y. I love D&Y hats. And Frye boots! I’m obsessed with Frye boots, I have so many pairs, and they’re so comfortable and I love them."

[What would your dream role be?] "Well, there’s not just one dream role, there’s a lot of things. I want to play an array of different characters and lifestyles. Different periods. I’d love to do a period film. I really have fun playing Katherine, and getting dressed up like that and living in that different era. I’d love to explore that and do a feature film in the 1800’s or before that and kind of go into that world again."

[What do you do to make yourself feel better in the morning?] "Usually when I wake up, I want to keep sleeping for days. I just wash my face. I am who I am, and I don’t want to change, or do anything except feel fresh and happy. Running, or going to yoga, or just having a cup of coffee and sitting on my balcony looking at the city. Taking a step back and breathing. In the morning if I can’t go to yoga class, I’ll go jump on a bed and do Downward Dog, or stretch, or go into Childs Pose and just breathe and relax and get ready for my day. I have a routine that I have to go by. It’s important. You have to keep yourself healthy and like you said, sometimes you wake up and you don’t feel so great but as long as you’re taking all the measures that you can to make yourself look and feel your best, that’s what’s most important."

[Om Elena & Katherine] "They're both in me. They're both challenging, but they both feed a different part of my soul."
Dagens citat
"You never know what love is and what kind of person appeals to you unless you allow yourself to fall in love and get your heart broken at least once."

"I’d love to go to Asia. I was supposed to be in Japan right now. We had a trip planned, but when the tsunami happened, everything changed. It was the first time that I had a personal connection to a disaster like this because up until now, I’d never had anything hit me so close to home and when you’re supposed to go somewhere and then you look at these peoples lives that are effected by it, it’s heartbreaking and it’s really sad."
Dagens citat
"When I have an audition I don't pick up the phone, I sit at home and I dissect the scenes to the bone.
There's a lot of time and work that goes into it."

[If she discovered any favorite places in Atlanta] "I love the food so much that it’s kind of become a problem because we have to stay in shape for filming. (Laughs) I love TWO Urban Licks, Wisteria and ONE. Midtown Kitchen, and Rathbun’s is just amazing. We’ve been to a lot of places around Atlanta, but still haven’t discovered as much of the city as we’d like to because we film 15-hour days. But when we do go out, I love that there are so many diverse pockets to explore, from Buckhead and Inman Park to Little 5 Points, which has that awesome urban edge."
Dagens citat
"I was always a really outgoing kid. My parents didn’t know what to do with me because I was so high energy, and my friends and I were always putting on little plays at home. I started doing gymnastics and ballet, so I was always performing in some way. Then I went to a performing arts high school in Canada where we studied music, dance and theater, and I realized that that was where I was happiest."
