I try to keep things as varied as possible in my career, and after playing something as fun and over the top as Maryann on 'True Blood,' I wanted to find something antithetical to that.

One of my last few vices is coffee, but with a spot of almond or soymilk, it's never tasted better!

God expects of us only what He Himself has supplied.

If your life is free of failures, you're not taking enough risks.
