I definitely hope to attend UCLA in a year, and major in business. |
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 not the most normal life in the world, but I screw up plenty of times to be a normal teenager. |
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! |
Always have a backup plan. |
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. |
I don't think it's true that blondes have more fun... Trust me, it is not true! |
It is difficult because the school I go to, my friends do not attend. |
I am... stubborn, and I admit it, so it's OK. |
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. |
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'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. |
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! |
I grew up in the Ukraine 'til I was about 7, and then I moved to L.A. |
