- I sound New York. I sound East Coast much more than a blonde person from L.A.
- I was brought up not to be selfish or self-centered. So if you play somebody who isn't so lovable, you can play that person and no one will turn on you. I don't want to play that person in real life. Because then people won't like me so much.

- I'm very, very private; I don't enjoy talking about myself to strangers. Particularly strangers with tapes going.
