When I was a kid, I was the one causing the problems, and my little sister was the intermediary. But I think in life, generally, I don't want drama. I'd so much rather do something goofy.

The Walking Dead' has allowed me to experience success and remain myself and develop some of the closest bonds, both professionally and personally, that I could ever have imagined. It's taught me a lot of life lessons.

I sometimes have dreams that my assistant director is waking me up and trying to get me to the set.

I was so gangly, even sneakers looked awkward. Everybody kind of goes through some phase, and it's hard if you're singled out for anything. But there was this one boy in particular who made fun of me, and - it's funny - then later, when we were 18 or 19, he wanted to go out with me.

When I don't exercise in the morning, it's a completely different day than when I do.

I am the queen of exercise variety.

We're always grasping to feel safe. Ultimately, some people feel safe through love or family or community. Some people through exerting control.

When I was a teenager, we used to go to North Carolina with my family, and we'd all pile into, like, a beach house. We'd rent, like, two or three next to each other, because I have a humungous family.

I always think family get-togethers when everybody just sort of crashes out are pretty much the best. If it's more than a few days it gets hard, but for just a few days, it's the most amazing thing ever.

Popular things have fans. It's not about me; it's about what we've made that people feel a connection to.

You have to do what makes you feel good, but for me, it has to come from that spiritual side first.

The physical and emotional qualifications to survive an apocalypse are naturally equalizing.
