Personal Quotes

"As a kid I learned the guitar, clarinet, drums, piano and recorder and I've never stuck to any of them! I love writing in my spare time. I'm a very expressive person and also a terrible liar. I can't hide good moods or bad moods. Honesty is very important." [on her childhood and hobbies].

I can't wait to have children. I'd like three at the most but one would be a blessing. It's hard work when you're doing a TV show... I know a lot of actresses hide their bumps but I don't want to be working in the first year of my child's life. [on her future.]
