Personal Quotes
"I'd love to be able to multiply because then I could be in lots of different places at once. One of me could be sitting here, one of me could still be in bed and one could be vacationing in Hawaii . Just be lots of places at once."
"It's wonderful. If anything, this business has brought my family together because we can sit at the dinner table and say, "Oh, my gosh, wait till you hear this crazy story." And my whole family always comes to sets with me, so it's something we can share as opposed to tearing us apart." [on having a sister who is also an actress]
"I really did graduate at 14, and I go to college in the Los Angeles area near where I live."
"You can always learn something [in bad acting classes], maybe it's a technique you don't like; maybe it's a style. But you learn different things."
