I mean I'm pretty good in real life but sometimes people seem surprised that I'm like a normal teenager and wear black nail polish and I'm just a little bit more edgy than the person I play on television.

We're in this transition period of figuring out how to deal with all the new technology that is out there but television still proves to be the granddaddy of them all.
