It would be hard for me to have a job where I sit down all day because I have a lot of energy Is there anything you don't like about working on "Diff'rent Sometimes I don't like being tied down to one thing I like to roam around and give everything a try How long does it take to tape a show? Every Friday we tape two different shows which takes five hours If you weren't acting today what do you think you would be doing?

Yea I want to be a 4 P1 Yea I have three dogs and two cats and one's pregnant If you could change one thing about "Kimberly" what would you change? I would have her do something bad for a change She is so good That character is so candy sweet it's sickening If there was one thing I could do I would have her do something like smoking in the bathroom at school Something people really do Of all the famous people you have met who do you like the most? i) Linda Blair She was the most real down-to-earth person I ever met on any set ever She was fabulous Richard Burton was nice but Linda Blair was real She helped me out a lot What advice would you give a young person who says that she wants to act?
