I like to make people laugh. I like that kind of silly stuff. For me, it's a natural thing to want to do something like this.
My friends know that I have a silly sense of humour and I can be a little vulgar at times - but just with people that I am close to.
They didn't send me the script for Scary Movie 4 because the script was very secretive. So I never did get one actually. But it is David Zucker and there is complete trust. So I read my scenes and I thought they were really funny. I thought it would be a riot to play the blind girl.
With Scary Movie 4 I couldn't say no because I loved being in the first one and even though it is a cameo, it's so worth it because it is so much fun to do.
For me doing Cheaper By The Dozen 2 was great because I did have a lot bigger part in that movie and every situation is different.
I just learn from other people. And I try to get strengths from other people and the things they do, the things they can overcome in their lives.
Being sexy is inside of you. It's a confidence thing and learning how to embrace your flaws because everybody has their issues and things that they don't like about themselves.
Whatever it takes to make you more secure with yourself, you can learn to do it.
My biggest downfall is my inner voice. Growing up as a dancer makes you very judgemental with yourself. You learn to look at yourself in the mirror and you criticise every line in your body. It's never perfect. I grew up with this because I had ballet every day in school.
For a girl like me, I understand because working out can get really boring. Doing the same exact routine every day gets old, and you need something new and fresh to inspire you.
I think the fact that you don't have to go to a class and embarrass yourself if you're not comfortable with your body.
When we shot the first series of Aerobic Striptease, we shot five DVD's, so we slowly put out each DVD and timed it out that they were all done and shot and ready to go. We just started shooting the next series once we felt it was time to work on the next one.
I guess I've always been attracted to people who stand out as individuals - people who are adventurous and take chances.
I like everything loud, over the top, dramatic.
