It was such a turning point to find that I had a talent and I had something to contribute, somewhere.

I grew up in a normal family. I have sweet parents, who are still married... But my life is so different from how I thought it would be.

When you're a parent, you're just like, God, I hope they like me when they grow up. I hope that I did a good job. I hope they're gonna be happy.

I try not to be but Im super-neurotic about diet. Im neurotic about trying not to be neurotic! Im like every other girl. I have to try really hard my whole life to try to be fit. And Im super-vain. And I want to wear cute clothes.

I think I've been able to fool a lot of people because I know I'm a dork. I'm a geek.

At a certain point I'm going to want to have a family.

My parents always pushed creativity on us, but they made it seem like the fun thing to do.
