Im from northern Virginia, but I grew up next to the West Virginia border, so it was hills and farmland. We had that sense of adventure you get from growing up around old farmhouses and lazy, rolling hills, you know?
One Tree Hill was my very first television audition; it was a fairytale. I feel really lucky to have that level of success right out of the gate.
I do hope that for the young women watching the show they know it is heightened reality and just grown ups playing teenagers. That's not how it is supposed to go. Just keep it to yourself.
I grew up in the United Methodist Church, and church was always a very big part of my growing up.
