I used to do a lot of yoga, but I tend to lose a lot of weight when I do that.
I think doing 'Teen Wolf' is just giving me a really great opportunity to possibly get other jobs and show what I can do.
Unfortunately, diet is 75 or 80 percent of trying to get in shape, so you do have to try to cut the carbs. The diet's a huge part! I'm from Kansas, so I love ranch dressing and McDonald's. When I'm working, I have to stay away from all that!
There are so many talented young actors in the industry. I'm just happy to have a job!
I remember my teens like they were yesterday! This was my 2nd time shooting for a Vogue (lol that sounds so funny saying it like that) and I remember laughing cause the next day I had a shoot for ROSS. Those early days really helped me get comfortable in front of the camera cause coming from a small town, I had no idea what the hell I was doing.
