I definitely hope to attend UCLA in a year, and major in business.

I love swimming, tennis, and I am taking up golf. I am not serious about it, I just go to the range and practice. Other than that, I enjoy going to the movies and hanging out with my friends.

Always have a backup plan.

I grew up in the Ukraine ’til I was about 7, and then I moved to L.A.

I’ve definitely grown apart from a lot of my friends. Some of them don’t understand the schedule, and it’s not that I don’t want to talk to them, it’s that sometimes I am really busy and can’t get back to them.

I definitely hope to attend UCLA in a year, and major in business.

I have an older brother who is 21 and attends UC Berkley.

My dad heard of a studio on the radio, and it was advertised as a place for kids to meet kids, and it was actually a studio, and that’s where I met my manager and agent.

It is difficult because the school I go to, my friends do not attend.

My goal in life is to enjoy what I do, and never to look back and say I wish I would have done that, and to go to UCLA, and to become someone great in life!

I am… stubborn, and I admit it, so it’s OK.

It’s not the most normal life in the world, but I screw up plenty of times to be a normal teenager.

My mom and my dad wanted my brother and I to have a better life, you know, better education, better jobs. It was probably harder, much, much harder, for my parents. When you’re a kid, you can learn a language much more easily; I learned English in less than a year.

It’s fun working on the set… I usually work about 10 and a half hours a day, and I also study about five of those hours. It can be tiring, but it’s fun!

Teens are dealing with the same problems now in the ’90s as they did back in the ’70s, the only real difference is the clothes we wear!

I don’t think it’s true that blondes have more fun… Trust me, it is not true!
