“I do actually like to visit haunted locations.”

“I'm sort of loving the feminine skirts and the cozy tops, especially when it's starting to get a little chilly out.”

“For me to play any true person in a film based on a true story, I always want to make sure that it doesn't mock and it certainly doesn't trivialize the events that took place.”

“Chris Hardwick is a good man.”

“Horror is one of the few genres that allows you to explore areas in film that normally you wouldn't otherwise.”

“Oh, gosh, I have always been a huge fan of horror since I was a child. I know this is going to sound really weird, but I think it started with fairy tales.”

“There was a solid six-month period where I was going out on castings and I was laughed out of the room because I'm much more petite than other models.”

“Egyptian Magic All-Purpose Skin Cream - I heard about it from Michelle Trachtenberg, who got it from someone who used to do Madonna's makeup. I swear by this product. If I get any kind of scar or burn, this stuff heals it. It really does work like magic.”

“I wanted to be Barbie.”

“I love every single genre from documentaries, horror, comedy, drama, '80s, classic, I have it all.”

“Most people buy shoes and clothing, but I buy a lot of DVDs.”

“I'm either in one of two things: high heels or cowboy boots.”

“Standing out for being short is not actually a good thing as a model and it hasn't been a help.”

“My face has a versatility that lends itself to different looks.”

“A lot of my family going back were cowboys and barrel racers, and I'd say I'm 50 percent high fashion and 50 percent cowgirl.”

“If you're going to go out, I'd recommend the Boom Boom Room. That seems to be the hot spot that everyone's hitting up during Fashion Week.”

“I sit down and I write what I'm thinking and what I feel - it happens all at once, I never stop writing.”

“I actually will not be returning to 'Gossip Girl.'”

“Acting is definitely my main focus.”

“I started out like any other model - I didn't use my name as leverage. I went out with a portfolio and pounded the pavement and it was surprising how many people wouldn't see me because I was too short.”
