QUOTES

(Discussing Playboy): If they could promise me it wasn't camera-between-my-knees kind of shots, I would do it. I would do topless. I think it's empowering. Though if my mother had a real big problem with it, I'd have to say no right now.

(on her personality) "I'm a pretty open person.
Like, if I have good sex, then the next day I'm going to
tell everyone I know about it."

"With Clarissa, I just kind of went in and did it. I was just saying the lines. Now I concentrate more on the jokes, timing and acting."
