I don't think you can really, truly be the partner you want to be until you know on an absolute level that you are a complete person on your own.

As a strong woman, there are things I would never put up with.

I like to have a much greater base and know a lot more about my character before I begin to fill the person. So a lot of it really entails sit-downs with them, determining who she is, where she came from, and why she reacts a certain way, and then I was really able to expand upon a lot of that and create a lot of that story on my own.

Brooke and I share some similarities. We're both passionate, fiercely loyal people. But she is far more outlandish than I'd ever be, particularly with her body and her sexuality. Brooke has made herself weak for men - she only gained self-confidence from their attention.

The only two men I have time for are Barack Obama and my trainer.

People care about my personal life. But really I'm dorky! I drink beer and go to football games. And ya know, sit in my house in a t-shirt on the weekends and play with my dog!

Regardless of what you plan on when you fall in love, significant others come and go in your life. Your friends are it. My friends are my everything.
