I loved campaigning for Obama.

Acting was all I ever really wanted to do.

For me, my 20s were all about reaching for the brass ring of work in theater, television, and film, surviving in between by waiting tables, painting houses, serving coffee, and temping.

Age is just a number. Unless, that is, you live in Hollywood, where there's this notion that if you haven't hit it big by your 20s, you may as well hit the road.

I struggle with control.

My mother is Italian and my dad's Irish. In my family, we're expressive. Nobody holds back.
