I am the queen of exercise variety.

Giving blood, or being near a needle, is the absolute worst.

I love, love, love, Halloween. I love dressing up - I think it's rad!

Sometimes you just have to chop a zombie like a melon. What can I say?

For some reason, I bruise like a peach. I don't have enough vitamin C, I think.

My parents have always had pretty high expectations, but they're very supportive.

I'd love to do Pat Benatar. Probably either 'Hit Me with Your Best Shot' or 'We Belong'.

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

I had a couple of car accidents when I was in my early 20s, and I used to have such a bad back.

Being deemed the most successful at prom does not mean you're going to do the best in your life.

I'm a really goofy person most of the time, and I have to sometimes temper my hyper self on set.

I'm a history nerd. Actually acting's the best job for somebody who loves weird, different stuff.

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

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

Nobody can ever describe how much you explore a character on a Peter Berg movie until you're doing it.

I always end up hurting myself doing something mundane. If I have to do some complicated stunt, I'm fine.

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

I like a challenge. I get such a sense of satisfaction when I push myself beyond what I thought I could do.

When I audition for something, I don't even want to think about who the other actors are in it, who's directing it.

Some people don't operate in that way: they can't understand how much strength comes from being compassionate and lifting other people up.

I do all core-based alignment training and strength training. If I don't die at the end of 90 minutes, then it hasn't been a good workout.

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

One of my really good friends in New York is a musician and looks just like Lindsay Buckingham. We always fancied ourselves the nice Fleetwood Mac.

The best way for me to put it is that if my spiritual life isn't bigger than my outside life, then I'm out of balance. I make my spiritual life a priority.

I went for an audition, which was shrouded in all kinds of secrecy to keep the storyline under wraps, and 5 days later I was in Atlanta and 700 years older.

I've always wanted to do a horror movie, and I grew up watching a lot of horror. I now, recently in life, don't have the stomach for it because I spend so much time in it.

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.

I was very skinny. You know when your knees don't even look like they're attached to your body? Kids at school called me 'Snap,' like my legs were about to snap because they were so thin.

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.

'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.

One thing I always think about is, at the end of the day, nobody really cares about you as much as they do about themselves. It's a very reassuring thing, in a good way. Pay attention to yourself, and use that energy and put it towards yourself.

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.
