I love theater. Just, it never spoke to me.
I just passed on some a script that I was sent, because I said, "I haven't yet played the person staying home, the one that says, 'Good luck, honey,' or whatever. " And so that's what I look for. Therefore, by virtue of that exclusion, I'm always trying to find roles that are challenging.

I love Snooki. She's a pickle sucker!
And as the elevator descents, passing the second floor, and the first floor, going even father down, I realize that the money doesn't matter. That all that does is that I want to see the worst
I love to see actors' work. I love to surf channels late at night and accidentally run into movies I hadn't seen before. It makes me very proud of the profession.
