As I kid, I read the 'Little House on the Prairie' series and was sad when I got to the last book.

I think, now that my brothers and I live so far apart, the greatest gift is when we can be together - when everyone can be in the same room at the same time.

I grew up drinking eggnog and watching 'It's A Wonderful Life' every Christmas with my family.

I love Christmas movies.

If you have feelings for someone, be honest with yourself and the person you care about, but trust that there is someone out there who will love you for who you are and will stay by your side.

I don't think our destiny is tied to anyone who walks away from our lives.

I grew up on a mountain in Tennessee, and my brothers and I love to go to The Mountain Opry when we are home. There is alway an abundance of laughter and joy, and anyone can get up on stage and dance and sing. My family also goes to a candlelight service at church on Christmas Eve. It's such a wonderful way to spend the night before Christmas.

I told my parents I wanted to move to New York City and be an actress when I was around seven or eight.

Working on script development, casting, editing, and music is incredibly inspiring to me, and it's wonderful to see something you love come to life.

In film and theater, you know the story and the journey from beginning to end, but with TV, you can keep peeling away layers and exploring a new world each week.
