Who are your top five favorite people in the world?
That could quite possibly be the hardest question to ask, but the obvious list makers would be my mother, father, two sisters, and the fifth would be all of my friends.

Who makes you laugh the most out of anyone you know?
Sam Muller.

Where is your favorite place to be?
[My] number one favorite city in the world so far is definitely Camogli, Italy.

What are the best qualities of a Los Angeles upbringing?
– The warm climate, although it spoils you.
– Access to amazing food (In-N-Out Burger), which again, spoils you.
– And ooh, the beaches…

What are the best qualities about living in Los Angeles now as an adult?
All of the above plus the ability to watch a Clippers game at a dive bar.

You began modeling as a kid. Did having a career so early in life give you certain advantages/preparations/perspective for your future in this business?
It defiantly gave me an interesting perspective of the industry and what it’s like working in it at a young age. It helped prepare me for the rest of my life. Mainly, I learned that the most important thing is to keep your head on your shoulders and feet on the ground.

Do you think you would have been an actor had you not grown up around that world? Do you think you would have had the interest to pursue this path?
Honestly, I can’t say because my life did take this path and, at the time I walked it, I’m not sure I even saw another road. But I couldn’t be happier with the way things have gone.

Did modeling make you more interested in fashion or less?
Fashion is something I will always appreciate, but after a while it didn’t seem like something I wanted to pursue. I’ve always gone up and down with it [as my] sense of values change.

How would you describe your personal style? Do you evolve your look through the years, or does your style change naturally as you mature? Is it something you’re conscious of?
Something I have been conscious of is the older I get, the more relaxed my clothes are. Somewhere around [age] twenty, I just couldn’t get myself to spend money on clothing. I think I went over a year not buying anything new for myself.

You took a little “gap year” a couple years ago. What did you do? What did you find out about yourself? Did you surprise yourself?
That gap taught me a lot, [but] mainly a sense of value that I work on each day to never loose. I went down to San Diego on-and-off for a while, had a house with my childhood friends, and just went back to my reality before the industry. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made, but after a while I wanted to work again, and just learned to find a good balance.

What was it about Arrow that made you decide to commit to another TV series?
There was just something about the script, the way the meeting went, and the timing that was just too perfect not to take if I could!

Were you familiar with the graphic novels that Arrow was based on?
Indeed I am, now more than ever. But I definitely knew about the Green Arrow and Justice League as a whole before the show.

Is Thea Queen (Willa’s character on Arrow) a good or corrupt person? The characters on the show seem to ride a line between both.
Thea is a good girl at heart, but everyone on the show is like an onion—there are many layers to the characters.

Can you name something about yourself that even your friends would be surprised by?
I haven’t eaten bacon in over a week (that is very odd for me).

What do you want to do next?
Anything and everything. I’m open to all new challenges.
