Quotes :

- "Every role that I've done is totally different. All About You is comedy; I'm the comic relief in that. Civil Brand is drama; I'm the lead in that. [Gang of Roses] is my action. Everything is totally different. I'm doing exactly what I want to do."

- "It enabled me to have that one-on-one with my fan base that I don't have a chance to do often because I'm in front of the camera. So that makes them feel like they're getting a treat, when in reality I'm getting a treat, because I'm getting the support and love from them."
