I have a lot of sides to my personality and what you see on 'The Hills' is a strong, independent woman, which I am. But I also have a sensitive side that I don't show too much.

I say what's on my mind. I go after what I want.

I’m a suburbanite nowIn L.A. you have to be so careful about what you say and who you trust. It’s such an awful way to live. [In Chicago] people want to get to know you for you. I feel like I can just breathe.

I don't let myself get worn out. I always listen to my body and take care of it if I'm run-down.

Sometimes, in order for things to get better, they have to end – even if it's momentarily.

I think a lot of girls look up to me because I'm a strong woman.

I love Chloe Sevigny's style - the way she manages to add a touch of rock n' roll to every look.
