• About her ferocious off-screen reputation: “When you're 18, and bars are letting you in, and you have the red carpet rolled out for you, what 18- year-old isn't going to take advantage of that? I know what I did, and I had a lot of fun. I lived my life as I would normally live my life and I didn't worry about being recognized, and I never felt like I had to lock myself up in my house and behave a certain way."

• "I used to watch Little House on the Prairie. And I wanted to work with Michael Landon really desperately."
• "I guess I was born that way.
• "I had more fun playing by myself than with anybody else,"
• "But at the same time, I was outgoing. I did all these plays, and when I was in Tennessee, I was active in the church. But I never really had sleepovers. I always wanted my time away from others."
• "When I'm not bitchy, which is rare, I can be HOT!"
• "If God wanted us to be naked, why did he invent sexy lingerie?"
• On leaving Beverly Hills 90210: "Let me start by saying it wasn't like I walked out one day and said, 'I quit.' It was a very long process of quitting the show. Aaron got as fed up with me as I was with the show, and I think it was because the notoriety was too much. People were hating the character and I couldn't take the abuse that came with that. People couldn't separate me from her and I got sick of people assuming that I was as naughty and bad as Brenda was. It was all very hurtful."
• On the tabloid articles: "You know, as far as I'm concerned, whatever they write, um, is so-- it's consisted of so many different lies that it's not even worth justifying it."
