Quotes

Jenny Humphrey: You know at least last year it was my face on the cake. And the people at my party might've hated me, but at least they knew who I was. I know that it's hard for you guys to understand, but I like being me and as crazy as it may seem, I choose not to be a Park Avenue Princess on my birthday or any other day.
