I've never been one for sitting on beaches.

I live not too far from it in New York City.

I went to college in Ohio, at Ohio University, and I graduated two years ago.

There are a lot of people who wait tables. And especially because you can do it at night and you can do your work in the day, she and I had a very similar experience.

I don't know how you get dressed if you live in Wales, because it's pouring rain and then it's hot sunshine, and then it might hail. It's just so confusing.

In Wales, it's eight different weathers in a day.

Nobody got Punk'd and he was still in his season for that show when we were filming. So the kids were very aware that it was filming and that was his show and they were very much on the lookout for that.

In Texas it's always hot, dry, sunny, not a cloud in the sky.

So I started to learn guitar right away.
