I get a lot of people who will either write to me or come up in public and say, “My daughter, son, family, or I, etc. look up to you.”

Just recently I was in Target with my mom shopping, and out of the blue, I see this father and his two daughters and he says, ‘Can they get a picture with you?’ And I’m thinking to myself, ‘Am I the one millionth customer or something?’

My mom has raised me saying, “Always be yourself.” So to be able to play a character that verifies just that, is such a thrill and adventure for me.

I’ve always been homeschooled, so doing it on set is kind of the same thing. My mom makes it very interactive – we’ll get a book on chocolate and learn how to make it, or she will buy antique items. I love military history, the mechanics and strategy of it.

It is a surreal life living on a television series set, and especially when I go out in public. I have people who recognize me and will come up to me, saying how much they enjoy seeing me, asking for a picture, and I still think to myself, “Uh, why?”

All I know, is that I feel extremely blessed to be on TV. It's a hard job, but real life is harder. Truth be told, playgrounds can be war zones.

I don't like horror films. Horror films in the sense of the way horror films are now, like 'Saw,' I don't like that, I don't.

I do talk to myself, just not in a whisper. But I have caught myself sometimes.

If there was any show I could guest star on, I would want to guest star on 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars' because I am such a nerd and I love that show. If there was ever an opportunity to be on that, I would snatch it up.

I'm most passionate about anything to do with nature and the simple things. I love taking walks with my family or my friends and seeing nature. And that's why I love living where I live because I live up in the desert area in the mountains.
