Everybody wants a sensational story.
I've named a couple things after Edgar Allan Poe: the cat, and my garden upstate, where I only planted black flowers and purple flowers - and there's a raven statue.
I've always been very vocal about my religion. It's a big part of who I am.
I think the first couple of times you do make-out scenes, you psych yourself out and it's really nerve racking.
Isn't Googling someone the first thing everyone does?! They meet someone new and Google them!
I want the kids who watch 'One Tree Hill' to know that it's all pretend, and that the person at the core of that character values morals, honor and things like that. You want to inspire them to look beyond what is superficial and try to find that greater thing.
For me, I always wonder what's worse: an emotional betrayal or a physical betrayal? That's a really tough call.
Gardening gloves are for sissies. I always have dirt under my nails.
I grew up at the base of a mountain in Virginia, so my comfort zone is that Appalachian area, where all the dudes wear Carhartt and all the women can put on a beautiful sweater with a snowman applique and nobody raises an eyebrow.
Theres something about a holiday that isnt all about how much money you spend.
One Tree Hill was a great learning opportunity for me, and Im excited to go and apply that elsewhere and see where I end up.
I move around a lot. I've lived in a ton of different places - and only for a month or two at a time. I have a deep, rabid curiosity, so I like having a gypsy life.
