Everyone loves each other for the pilot. But once you start to do the show, you see everybody's true colors. If it's successful, people start to change, and then if it's not doing well, people start to change in other ways. Show less «

Who doesn't love a 'Lifetime' movie? I think that they know their audience so well.

I'm very into dark colors. I try to rock the dark against the ghost white skin as much as humanly possible.

When I was eleven, I got cast in the last directorial project of Christopher Reeve.

I've been on plenty of sets where I have not liked the people that I work with, but you suck it up and be professional.

I'm very obsessed with 'The Real Housewives' franchise. It's a bad obsession.

Lizzy Weiss is such a great writer, and she really writes for the performances.
