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

Working out gives me endorphins and makes me happy. I need it!
I always end up hurting myself doing something mundane. If I have to do some complicated stunt, I'm fine.
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 like a challenge. I get such a sense of satisfaction when I push myself beyond what I thought I could do.
You have to do what makes you feel good, but for me, it has to come from that spiritual side first.
Being deemed the most successful at prom does not mean you're going to do the best in your life.
Popular things have fans. It's not about me; it's about what we've made that people feel a connection to.
Some people don't operate in that way: they can't understand how much strength comes from being compassionate and lifting other people up.
Giving blood, or being near a needle, is the absolute worst.
'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.
I sometimes have dreams that my assistant director is waking me up and trying to get me to the set.
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.
For some reason, I bruise like a peach. I don't have enough vitamin C, I think.
I love, love, love, Halloween. I love dressing up - I think it's rad!
When I don't exercise in the morning, it's a completely different day than when I do.
I'd love to do Pat Benatar. Probably either 'Hit Me with Your Best Shot' or 'We Belong'.
When I audition for something, I don't even want to think about who the other actors are in it, who's directing it.
I'm a history nerd. Actually acting's the best job for somebody who loves weird, different stuff.
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.
I do actually sing; I love to sing.
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.
Nobody can ever describe how much you explore a character on a Peter Berg movie until you're doing it.
I had a couple of car accidents when I was in my early 20s, and I used to have such a bad back.
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.
I am the queen of exercise variety.
We're always grasping to feel safe. Ultimately, some people feel safe through love or family or community. Some people through exerting control.
I'm a really goofy person most of the time, and I have to sometimes temper my hyper self on set.
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.
My parents have always had pretty high expectations, but they're very supportive.
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.
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.
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.
