It`s fun working on the set... I usually work about 10 and a half hours a day, and I also study about five of those hours. It can be tiring, but it`s fun!

I love swimming, tennis, and I am taking up golf. I am not serious about it, I just go to the range and practice. Other than that, I enjoy going to the movies and hanging out with my friends.

Blondes definitely do not have more fun. Trust me.

Teens are dealing with the same problems now in the `90s as they did back in the `70s, the only real difference is the clothes we wear!

It is difficult because the school I go to, my friends do not attend.

I definitely hope to attend UCLA in a year, and major in business.

I am... stubborn, and I admit it, so it`s OK.

Always have a backup plan.

I grew up in the Ukraine `til I was about 7, and then I moved to L.A.

I don`t think it`s true that blondes have more fun... Trust me, it is not true!

My goal in life is to enjoy what I do, and never to look back and say I wish I would have done that, and to go to UCLA, and to become someone great in life!

It`s not the most normal life in the world, but I screw up plenty of times to be a normal teenager.

The downfall of the industry is that there is a lot of pressure in it, a lot of rejection in it and a lot of competition in it. It`s a whole mess.

My dad heard of a studio on the radio, and it was advertised as a place for kids to meet kids, and it was actually a studio, and that`s where I met my manager and agent.

I`ve definitely grown apart from a lot of my friends. Some of them don`t understand the schedule, and it`s not that I don`t want to talk to them, it`s that sometimes I am really busy and can`t get back to them.

My mom and my dad wanted my brother and I to have a better life, you know, better education, better jobs. It was probably harder, much, much harder, for my parents. When you`re a kid, you can learn a language much more easily; I learned English in less than a year.

I have an older brother who is 21 and attends UC Berkley.

Well I was in Russia. I wasn`t allowed to be religious. My whole family was in the holocaust. My grandparents passed and not many survived. After the holocaust in Russia you were not allowed to be religious. So my parents raised me to know I was Jewish. You know who you are inside. You don`t need to tell the whole world. You believe what you believe and that`s what`s important. And that`s how I was raised. My family was like `you are Jewish in your blood`. We can celebrate Yom Kippur and Hannukah but not by the book. We do it to our own extent. Because being in Russia...Bar Mitzvahs weren`t held. When I was in school you would still see anti-Semitic signs. One of my friends who grew up in Russia, she was in second grade. And she came home one day crying. Her mother asked why she was crying and she said on the back of her seat there was a swastika. Now this is a country that obviously does not want you. So my parents raised me Jewish as much as they could and came to America. I love my religion. I think it`s a beautiful religion but I took parts of it that I want for myself. I don`t need to go to temple. I will, but I don`t need to.

[Denying false reports of marriage]: I`ve been engaged. I think I`ve already been married. And I`m sure I have a child somewhere. I`m waiting to have something else happen. No, I`m not married. And no, I`m not engaged. And no, I do not have a child. No one seems to listen. And next week I`ll be engaged again. I think, at one point, they were like, `Seen shopping in Beverly Hills for engagement rings.` We were in Japan working. What is wrong with these people? Half the time you can say they misconstrued facts. But, more often than not, they just make stuff up.

[On her "That `70s Show" (1998) character, Jackie, switching boyfriends from Kelso to Hyde]: "I think her relationship with Steven has taught her to be less selfish".

Blondes definitely do not have more fun. Trust me.
