I remember being in Vancouver with Ian [Somerhalder].

I tested with Ian and I just thought he was Captain Cool.
Id seen him do a play in New York and I was just enamored by the guy.
I locked it in because I felt the wheels spinning.
I was like, I think this is going to happen.
We did a Hot Topic signing event at a mall in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Julies been the one constant throughout the entire show.
That was really cool for me to be able to have a real connection with someone.
I became a parent doing this job.
Its been a very healing process.
And somehow through these eight years weve patched ourselves up and are now ready to face the world again.
