When I'm not working, I don't mix with actors, really. I have about two or three friends from theater school, and we call each other and meet. But in the main, no. I'm more happy with musicians or horse riders or sailors.
I got quite the college experience.
I'm from Texas and actually went to a regular high school, but every day after school I'd run to dance class and practice a lot and then go back the next day and stuff like that.
I was the class clown, but I was also student body president in high school.
I didn't take very much part in activities on campus at that time.
My parents raised me to put school first and modeling and extracurriculars second.
When I was growing up, there weren't any Little Leagues in the city. Parents worked all the time. They didn't have time to take their kids out to play baseball and football.
For parents who work, afterschool programs can be a crucial support system, but too many communities have limited options.
In high school, I was into a lot of different stuff, and I did ride skateboards.
Being in a club - clubs are, like, not my favorite thing.
I was still playing basketball and baseball - everything else I wanted to do as a kid. Modeling was a chance to get out of school early and go into the city.
I was on the cheerleading squad and drama and the choir, but I was friends with everybody. I was not a partier. I was too Type A and crazy about my grades, but I was still there at everything.
I went to school every day, like everyone else, and I played baseball for my high school team. I was a part of a lot of different activities outside of school.
