By helping a woman, you help a family.

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.

I've heard it said that the most dangerous animal on the planet is the adolescent male.

I like villains because there's something so attractive about a committed person - they have a plan, an ideology, no matter how twisted. They're motivated.

I'd date someone younger or older; age doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
