| You
started acting to overcome your shyness?
Alexis: Yeah, my mother put me in theatre when I was a kid. She thought it would help. Do you find it has helped? Alexis: I think so. The theatre and traveling through my modeling jobs, all of those experiences have helped a lot actually. Do you think a lot of actors are shy people? Alexis: That's what I've been told. Most actors that I've come across seem to be very extroverted people. Alexis: Me too! I think that it is a myth. I've been told that there are a lot of other actors who are shy too. I'm sure it's true. Through modeling, you've been to a lot of places. What's your favorite city that you've been to? Alexis: Probably Tokyo. I found it the most interesting because it was such a different culture from us. How much time did you spend there? Alexis: I went twice, each time for about a month-and-a-half. You finished a year of film school at the University. What are your future aspirations in the entertainment industry? Do you want to get into directing or producing or anything like that? Alexis: I would love to get into all of it if I can. I write a lot too so I would like to write or direct in the future if I can. Do you write screenplays? Alexis: Yeah. |

| What type of stories do you usually
write? Alexis: I don't know. They seem to be all over the map. I don't really have a certain genre that I stick to. I'm kind of just playing around with all kinds of different things. Where did you grow up, Alexis? Alexis: In Houston. In general, do you feel you are a lucky person? Alexis: Yeah I would say so. I'm really happy with my life. If you could only choose one what would you rather do, act or model? Alexis: Act. Why? Alexis: You become more involved in what you are doing. You put a lot more into it and it is a lot more rewarding. It's not just about how you look, it's how you can portray and what emotions you present to other people. I think it's a more powerful medium in a lot of ways. How do you memorize your lines? Alexis: I don't actually. I kind of just read it before we start shooting and hope for the best. I kind of just go over it before I go to sleep at night and in the morning I read it over several times and jump into it. You've just started acting and I'm sure just being interviewed is a new experience for you. How do you feel about the self-analyzation you have to go through when people ask you questions about yourself all the time? Alexis: It's weird because I was never asked to define myself so much before. You never asked to put yourself in categories and all of a sudden you are. I don't want to categorize myself a lot of the time. I just want to live each moment, but it's kind of hard to do that when you are asked to analyze yourself constantly. But it's also good in that you are forced to think about things that you don't ordinarily think about. I think it's strange.
