How do you feel about how you're portrayed on the show?
It's interesting. The show is real, and parts of me are very honest and very straightforward. I think there is a lot of editing that goes into it. I don't ever say mean things to people; it's the reaction shots they get and the music they play that really turns it into something or somebody I'm not. Once the show ends, people will find that I'm much more of a compassionate person than comes across on the show. They fill character spots, and I fall into this one, and I hope that at least by the end of the season people start to see me as a person that they like again. I ask people to go back and watch season five of Laguna Beach -- that's who I really am. Like, I'm actually a nice person! I'm not this mean girl. There are people on the show that say mean things to my face, but I've never actually done anything to them.
