A biography for Carly Chaikinhasn’t been written yet.
“All of the coding and hacking stuff that we do and I talk about, I always have them explain what it means so I know what I'm saying.”
“Technology and communicating with people online or through a phone or through social media - it's a false sense of intimacy and connection.”
“There are times where we are shooting a TV show, and it goes very fast. But everybody has this freedom to still be artists.”
“At restaurants, I always get a kids' menu and color or draw on the tablecloth.”
“I love games. When I first saw 'Celebrity Family Feud,' I literally, in all caps, emailed my team and was like, 'Why am I not on this?'”
“I started painting at 17; I took a class at Brentwood Art Center. I thought about art school - but I'm just so not a school person.”
“I'm such a loser; I don't really go out. None of my friends are really actors, so in that regard, I still have all the same friends and do all the same things.”
“So many of my paintings, people would be like, 'What more do you have to do?' But the smallest little things make all of the difference.”
“One of the reasons why I love acting is my obsession with human emotion and faces and expressions - no surprise, then, that I usually end up painting faces. But I haven't done a self-portrait. I'd be too scared.”
“I really love 'America's Next Top Model.' I'm always tweeting about it, and people are like, 'You need to get a life!'”
“I have Bob Dylan lyrics on my ribs. I'm a diehard Dylan fan, and my dad and I joke that if I ever met him, I'd have him sign his name right under my tattoo and then I'd run to the parlor to get his signature tattooed.”
“I guess I don't really feel like I have that much power to influence that many people.”
“All the art that's in my house is my own, which is nice because I never have to worry about buying it.”
