I mean, like the rest of America, I wasn't really into politics until Obama went into office, so it's all kind of new to me, but I'm excited about it. I've been watching a lot of campaign ads, doing a lot of research for it. It's so different, it'll be interesting.

I feel like always wanting more... that's how you grow and learn. You can't just be satisfied with where you are. There's so much more to learn and consume.

There are these creative shows, all on cable, that are just so daring and out there. That's the stuff I really want to be a part of, like with 'Sucker Punch' and 'Hangover 2.' Those movies didn't hold back. They really went for it.

The casting directors that were aware of 'The Real World' looked at me as a joke. It was so hard to get away from that.

To be honest with you, I'm more of a girl's girl. I'm much more comfortable being around other girls.

I didn't want to be known as the reality-show star trying to be an actress, so I kept a lot of the failed auditions to myself.
