It's funny because being comedic and happy and lighthearted is who I am as a person, so they're easier emotions for me to connect with.

It's hard in L.A. not to go out, it gets lonely. Being an actress is lonely, and I never want to be alone. I hate sleeping alone.

It is clear to me that my life has become completely unmanageable because I am addicted to alcohol and drugs.

I'm at my happiest when I'm on a movie set. It's like therapy for me.

Obviously, I want to sell records, but I do it because I find it therapeutic. In music I can be myself.

Girls my age dress so much raunchier than I'd ever imagine myself dressing. I understand that I'm a role model, though, and I have to look out for that. I have a 10-year-old sister, too. But you also want to be appealing to guys and stuff, that's just something girls feel. It's hard. You want to be that girl that's unattainable to all the guys because there are so many other girls out there that are like that.

Compared to a lot of actresses my age, I'm actually overweight.
