Of course, I have the emotional ups and downs of pregnancy, like crying jags for no reason and then the next day I can't even remember what I was crying about!

I remember when the O.J. verdict was read; at my high school, all of the teachers were like, "We are stopping class right now," and turned it on and we watched it. There were people coming out of their classrooms, like, "Yeah!" Some people were like, "Nooo." I was in Spanish class.

I came from a very normal, un-Hollywood background. My parents provided me with every sort of normal upbringing that they could.

Life isn't like a Full House episode. There isn't going to be an easy out to every conflict. There is no milkman, paperboy, or evening TV. There are good moments and bad moments and not everything will tie together nicely in the end. But that's life, and I think I'm finally starting to get it.

The interesting part is that most of the kids I speak to have grown up watching 'Full House,' so they feel like they know me and can talk to me.

High school is just horrible in general. So, I think it was a good time for me to have stopped acting. I got to be normal in high school.
