Quotes- On her role in SWIMFAN as a stalker: "Interestingly enough, I think of it as kind of being comparable to addiction, which is basically what this girl has is an addiction for this guy. She's very needy and she'll go to any length to get what she wants. It's in that way very comparable to a drug addiction."
- On drug use: "I can't say enough about how I'm against drugs. Be smart, think about it, look at what it does to people, look at how much you have to experience in life and be courageous enough to do everything you want to without that chemical help."
