I didn't have a stage mom at all. I was the one who planned out my auditions and drove myself an hour and a half into the city.

I love yoga because it's very calming for your body and your spirit. It gives you that meditative state, and its 90 minutes where you can get away from the world and just be, and exist in the moment. I need yoga. It's part of my life, and I can't imagine not doing it.

My goal on the show was to be professional. But sometimes you cant help who you have a connection with, and you can only fight it for so long - which I did for a really, really long time.

I think that when people start hanging around each other, they start to pick on on each other's quirks and taste in music, apparently.

Over the holidays is when I have the most occasions to cook and bake.

I've realized skinny isn't necessarily attractive. Guys like girls with curves.

Somebody who talks about how much they're eating and counts calories is unattractive to me. And when you limit yourself in the things you eat, it affects your mood. I've seen people who are a nightmare to be around because they're not eating. That's why I always have an apple in my purse or a Luna Bar in the glove box in case I get stuck in traffic - I don't even want to be alone in the car with myself if I'm hungry!
