I used to hate looking in the mirror. I've grown up into myself and now I'm happy with the way I look.

I like to do a lot of cardio.

The 'believe' tattoo is because my mom always told me to believe.

The only way to grow is to challenge yourself.

Don't let anyone, or any rejection, keep you from what you want.

I'm very sassy. I want to show people in my album I'm not like my characters on TV.

I love Christmas, not just because of the presents but because of all the decorations and lights and the warmth of the season.

I love pink, it's so girly!

I hope to inspire people, influence people.

With every character, I just bring something that I can make my own.

When fans come up to me and Vanessa, they're really sweet and ask for autographs - but once they see the guys, the girls tend to scream.

Life is not sugar coated.

The Manifesto was a cowardly proceeding, the more I thought of it the less I liked it.

The oil spill is getting bad. There is so much oil and tar now in the Gulf of Mexico, Cubans can now walk to Miami.

God gave me the talent and I endeavor to give it back to Him with each new idea.

In this dim world of clouding cares, We rarely know, till wildered eyes See white wings lessening up the skies, The angels with us unawares.

Modeling is a way for me to continue with my sport, the hours are flexible and you can earn good money through photographic modeling and the catwalk

I like to be a team player. All the projects I do are collaborations. And I want to solicit the opinions and help of other people. I'm not interested in being the one in charge.

I learned a long time ago from David Mamet to wipe your feet at the door, get it out on stage and then go about your life.

Maybe it's a little depressing to think that my vision of a perfect world is actually so messed up, but I think it means that I don't really understand what 'perfect' is.

I would love to someday do a play. I did one when I was very young in San Francisco, where I grew up. A girl can dream.
