Growing up in the business you have to grow up very fast - you do have a different type of childhood, that has its benefits and it has its drawbacks.

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.

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 was obsessed with Claire Danes because she was Juliet. There is something about her still to this day - she is a brilliant actress. And she did make out with both of my boyfriends.

I actually never auditioned for 'Full House.' I had done a guest appearance on 'Valerie' as the next door neighbor's niece, and from that I got into 'Full House.' I was only five years old, and I was on the show until I was 13.

It is kind of hard to figure out who you are when you've lost your job at age 13, when that was basically how you identified yourself.

I loved Jared Leto. My So-Called Life, that was my jam. And Leonardo DiCaprio in Romeo + Juliet. Every 14-year-old girl was obsessed with that.
