Personal Quotes
I've worked really hard to bring something more to "pretty girl" roles over the years. I consider it a challenge.

[On transitioning from modeling to acting] My father persuaded me to take classes, and my first agent in Austin paid for them. I'd always wanted to be an actress. I did it in high school and fell in love with it, but I was distracted by the modeling industry because I wanted to travel and get out of my hometown. It was the easier ticket.
