I'm not geeky but I have my geeky, corky moments, and then I've got some aspects of cool in me, I guess.

Saturday morning, you knew what was cool by what was on 'Soul Train.'

I tell people 'America's Got Talent' is the best summer job you could have - you get to watch people strive for their dreams all summer long. So when you see me rooting for these people or dancing on the side of the stage, that's what I'd be doing if I was watching this show at home!

I think my kids give mommy more attention than they give me.

Most aspiring child actors or child stars have a passion for it. But as easy as it is for me to say that I wouldn't put my kids in it, if I saw that they really, really wanted to do and they had the drive, then I would fully support it. As long as there's balance at home, then they could do whatever they wanted to do.

The people who truly love me and loved me before all of this stuff. You can't ever leave them behind.
