I want to try everything.

Josie needed more of a personality than what the cartoon had to offer.

Acting just sort of happened and I found that I loved it. It was such a challenge.

On Josie and the pussycats; I`m learning to play guitar. It`s very difficult, but I`m determined to do it right so I don`t make anybody mad.

We were only allowed to watch Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers and 3-2-1 Contact!

You know, we have to take these characters - who, granted, have their separate personalities but, on a lot of levels, are pretty two-dimensional - and make them into people with flaws, with insecurities.

Sometimes I say things that I can`t believe came out of my mouth. Or I won`t mean something and it will come out completely nonsensical.

Once I tried highlighting my brother`s hair, but I think I mixed it wrong. It was as if someone poured kerosene on his head.

I think I`m a million different faces.

But acting just sort of happened and I found that I loved it. It was such a challenge.

Tara and Rosario are great. They live in New York and I`m in LA. but, whenever one of them comes here or I go there, we all hang out.

But my mother and father were married when my mom was 20 and my dad was 24.

I have two cats at home in Minnesota with my family. Beau and Skippy.

When I came into the business, things changed a lot, and my life was in a real state of flux.

I was very involved with school by the time I was 15 and wasn`t working much as a model.

Yeah, I definitely want to find that right person and fall in love and have kids someday.

If this whole acting thing doesn`t work out, I`ll just get a talk show.

My height was never a factor.

I always say that even if this were the worst movie in the world, I`d do it again because it was such a good time.

I`m not small, I`m space-efficient.

I would love to work with Rosario Dawson & Tara Reid again. We were a team on the set of Josie and the Pussycats (2001), our chemistry was great from the first day of filming & you don`t really expect that when you work with new people. I still call them everyday, like sisters to me!

On Josie & the pussycats; I guess I`ve done one other movie with a group of girls (Strike), but we weren`t as close.

Sometimes I`m just a disaster! Other times it seems like I`m one of the most normal people I know.

You wouldn`t recognize me from one project to the next.

When something is troubling me, people know about it.

When I was 8, I collected toothbrushes.

I`d love to do a sequel. Even if it was `Ernest Goes to Mars 3`- if these girls were in it, I`d do it in a minute. [Referring to Josie and the Pussycats (2001) in an interview she gave to TV Guide (Issue #2505, 31 March 2001; article title "What`s new, Pussycats?" by Josh Rottenberg)]

People always give me styling products and stuff.

I have no interest whatsoever in being a high-fashion model, nor is it possible.

You can grow apart from people very quickly.

Hours fly by while I`ll just be in my apartment, and somehow it will be messy later. I`ll clean it up and eat cereal and watch Ricki Lake and call friends I haven`t talked to.

When I came into the business, things changed a lot, and my life was in a real state of flux.

I didn`t want to start acting like a cartoon.

You wouldn`t recognize me from one project to the next.
