Anything you throw at me, I`ll try to tackle.

I love gardening. I think it`s very therapeutic when you`re having a bad day.

Yes, romance has found it`s way into my heart in the past.

When you grow up on film, people sometimes have difficulties accepting the fact that you are growing up. They always imagine you younger.

The food was interesting. My background is Russian, so cheese and potatoes are my love. There was plenty of that. And fried cheese! It is really, really, really good. And really, really, really bad for you. It`s like an artery on a plate.

[On why she chose not to continue her role as Dawn Summers] "I felt like every year, my character got younger as I got older. The scripts even had me speaking grammatically incorrectly. So I had to do something else. Besides, the show is over. If you miss it, get the DVDs."

I wrapped "Buffy" and I always felt on "Buffy" that they wanted to keep me younger for a specific reason. It seemed like I was getting younger every year that I was on the show. I think there was a reference to me being 15, then 14.

[on the future of Buffy] I`m sure that in some way, shape or form "Buffy" will be continued or the story, through the fans, because we do have such devoted fans and that`s always been very sweet.

My confidence comes from me, Michelle, as a person. I don`t necessarily believe that I will act and be a lead forever, but I want to continue to act for a long time. I love to do what I do.

I love tennis. I tried gymnastics at one point, but my tush got a whole lot of black and blue so that wasn`t fun.

[On being involved in a Buffy spin-off] "I didn`t see myself continuing as Dawn because I like to have diversity in my roles. A lot of people are like: "Oh my God! Little Dawn grew up!" And as much as I love you guys, suck it up."

One day I`d like to win an Oscar. But, I tell my mom if I ever get to be rude and demanding to let me know and I`ll stop it. I don`t want to be an actor like that.

I have never understood that. I come from a place where the press makes or breaks an actor and it is more of a teamwork relationship.

Ice skating is very difficult. It takes a lot of discipline and a lot of hard work. It`s fun, but you are there on the ice every morning freezing and trying to do these moves and these tricks.

I have many valentines. My mom and my sister and my directors. I got calls from all of them. And my friends. I respect what Valentine`s Day stands for because it is about love.

Keep your private life private. Be open to suggestions from different people. And just be nice. I have heard stories about people who are just plain rude to the press or fans.

The way to my heart is by being truthful and spontaneous.

I have ballet class every other day for two hours. And for "Six Feet Under", last week there was a sequence where I had to do a whole choreographed dance number, so I had four hours of dance practice every day.

I just feel - specifically about that holiday - why is it just one day that you have to tell the person that you love how much you love them? I think that is a little silly. I am much more the girl that likes the spontaneous.

A fashion editor at Vogue, that would be awesome. (On her dream job)

My mother was there every day of the production. You know what? My mother and I are so close, she really understands the fact that I am 18 and I am maturing. I guess I am not your average 18 year-old.

I adore London and Paris, and I hope to live in London for a period of time when I`m older.

I chose to wait to get my drivers license. Since I was working and I didn`t have time, I got it like a week before my 18th birthday.

I don`t like to search too much. I find it is easier when romance finds you.

I plays Joe`s best friend. I am the only one he has ever been able to trust in his life, so I help him understand what happened to him when he was younger.

The sexy moments for me, I wasn`t thinking of them as sexy. I was thinking of them as more specific to my character. So it was necessary for my character`s development in the movie, so that`s how I played it.

I am young. I better show off what I have now.

Four months filming in a foreign country. You know, it is great because you get to learn all about different cultures. I feel so much more enriched.

Most people say they talk to me and I sound older.
