Using the highest quality products is essential. SW: Is there anything special you would like people to know about you that they don’t see on the surface? SC: Yes, that I have always tried to stay focused, even when others try to bring me down. It is so important to be confident, strong and secure on the inside. The world is a competitive place, and if you believe in and love yourself, then can accomplish your dreams. SW: What is your favorite book? SC: Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff, by Richard Carlson. SW: When you get up in the morning, what is the first thing you reach for? SC: Water. I am usually very thirsty and love drinking water first thing. Then after that, I go for the coffee! 65 SW: Do you prefer modeling or acting? SC: I love both, however they are so different. Acting is definitely more challenging, but so much more exciting, and it really tests one’s abilities. SW: What is next for you? SC: There is a major role that I’ll be playing which is coming out next season, but right now it is still secret. My week is always different, whether it be a magazine shoot, filming a commercial, TV show, and ocean conservation meetings. I never know one week to the next.
