Performances are always more interesting to me when something is at stake.

I always find the worst lies are told in relationships - I learned to never lie about your happiness in order to save someone's feelings from being hurt.

I have always loved story - I escaped within it as a child, I read every day, I love figuring out the complex layers of an author's work.

I really love Natalie Portman; she's the real deal.

I love Lady Antebellum and Miranda Lambert - they write from the heart. But it's hard to find a country music lover in L.A. None of my friends really listen to it, and they hate getting in the car with me because I just blast Taylor Swift.

When you're in the throes of this romantic love, it's overwhelming - you're out of control, you're irrational, you're going to the gym at 6 A.M. every day - Why? Because she's there.

First and foremost, I consider myself a storyteller. And I'm endlessly fascinated with people, with what they do and why... and how they feel about it. Which means I'm interested in romance fiction. I was drawn to it, as both a reader and a writer, at the very beginning of my career. It's my kind of storytelling.

Reggae is my heart since I was a kid. I love Reggae music.
