I went to art school in Chicago for a year at Columbia College. I had this whole master plan of getting into sustainable development and green architecture and construction, so I wanted to go to business school and then get my masters in construction and development.Collection: Architecture
I worked at the Northlight Theater in Skokie, and the Mercury Theater on South Port. I actually did a show there for three years, called 'Over the Tavern.'
I've been acting since I was 8 - I used to play hockey and there was a kids' theatre down the street from my house and one day I just walked in and signed up for auditions for 'The Wizard Of Oz.'
I don't really get nervous in front of people. I kind of walk into every situation like I'm walking in to meet my peers, and they either like me or not.
I wear my heart on my sleeve and live my life as openly and honestly as I can.Collection: Heart
I am driven by love and I have been in love with a handful of different people, men and women. It's like, if you go to a bookstore and you know exactly what kind of book you want, you have to look it up in the system because it's in a specific section of the bookstore. I fit into a handful of sections in the bookstore.Collection: Book

I've learned so much from just being in film industry. I definitely want to stay in front of the camera and learn more from as many people as I can. Somewhere down the line, writing, directing and producing would be fantastic.Collection: Writing
I love the consistency of working on television. You don't get that in working on film. But, it's all about the right projects. I'm reading different stuff, every single day. I'm actively seeking.Collection: Reading
I need different people to tap into different energies for different things.Collection: People
My whole thing is, if you love this person as much as you say you do and you spent this much time together, you owe it to that person to have a conversation with them about opening up the relationship one way or another before you go and you act on it.Collection: Opening Up
Someone that is not close with their family is an immediate deal breaker for me.Collection: Deals

I believe in sexual monogamy, but I don't believe in emotional monogamy.Collection: Believe
I get told I'm too good-looking for a lot of roles. They don't write roles people would think I'm supposed to play as often as they used to - the rom-com pretty-boy storylines.Collection: Writing
Movies are thankfully about real people nowadays, and I don't necessarily always look like a real person.Collection: Real
Look, a lot of people don't think that the way that I live my life is a real thing, that it exists, that having a broad spectrum of sexual orientation is even possible.Collection: Real

The s - t I put on Instagram, in a lot of ways, I'm making fun of what it actually is. Some of the things I put on there are absolutely ridiculous because parts of my life are absolutely ridiculous.Collection: Fun
Here's my take on Instagram: It's so ridiculous that people can go on and play characters, and none of it [should be] taken too seriously.Collection: Taken
I've always had different diet kicks. I grew up in a big Italian family, kind of grew up a chubby kid, then went vegan in fifth grade. I did that for three years, then I went raw in high school. It's always been extreme, but in the last few years I've gotten into balance. I don't restrict myself like I used to.Collection: School
I work out a lot - five, six, days a week. I take yoga classes and go to the gym - I love doing it and I have the time to do it. Not everybody has that option.Collection: Yoga
Family is so important and I think that is what you are doing in a relationship - you are in one way or another creating a family. And if you don't have a solid base for that, then it is never going to work.Collection: Thinking
