The umlaut isn't on my birth certificate. I had this book as a child called Chloe and Maude, and there was an umlaut on the e, and I said, I want that! It's a little flair. Just to confuse people even more.

The realism frightens me more than the bubble gum-y, heightened stuff.

I don't swim! That's like athletic.

I had done some commercial work in junior high and stuff - my mother would bring me into the city, and we'd go on these crazy castings. Acting was something I always dreamed of doing... it was my passion when I was young.

The media loves negative spin.

I know who I am by now. And I am my own brand.

When I was younger, I was really anti-Hollywood. Now I'm more accepting of it because I'm less of a snob.
