"In acting, when you play villains, rule number one, if you judge your character, if you call a "villain" a villain, you have just lost yourself that role. The second that you judge what you are choosing for that character, you ruin the truth and the authenticity of what an individual who expresses like that, feels."

"The process that an actor goes through is almost the exact same thing as a spiritual awakening. When you look at acting and a spiritual awakening, they become synonymous."

- Actress AnnaLynne McCord on The Modern Spirituality Show
