- Guys blow my looks up more than I ever would. I guess I have issues with myself. I don't think I'm as pretty as everybody thinks.
- Spaghetti Righetti is my nickname to this day. My _"Reunion" (2005)_ (qv) co-stars call me Spaghetti Righetti. It's grown on me with time. You can't really fight it.
- I had one of those "it's time to start living" moments recently, so I went to Amsterdam. It's funny because I partied a lot when I was younger, and I'm only 21, but I'm in a mellow stage of life right now.
- There was that pretty-girl factor. People would ostracize me without knowing a thing about me.
- One time, I had this boyfriend who cheated on me. I cheated back and then we broke up and then got back together.
