I've had my ring since I was 12 years old. But for me it's not something I want to go around saying, 'Hey, look what I have', It's a promise I made to myself and God. I think some people misinterpret that as a trend and think everyone's getting one.

I really just don't want to act any more. People say why and I said, 'Have you been to the movies lately' They're just horrible. They're just so bad.
