Breaking up with Jason was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I still wanted to be with him but I knew that I couldn’t be. I was so fortunate to have Heidi, who is my best friend. She took me away on a road trip to Las Vegas and we had the best time. It was important for me to know that I could still have a good time without a boyfriend. I slept in her bed for a month because I couldn’t go into my room. And then I realized I just had to be out of that apartment because there were so many memories there, and she packed up all of my stuff and we moved. The only thing that heals a broken heart is time. But it really helps hanging out with your girlfriends as much as possible.

I chose to do the show because Entertainment and Fashion are so closely related. I wanted to get a taste of a different side of my world and I loved just trying a new experience. MTV was so great about spending time with all of us so closely that we all became one big family.

I definitely feel a lot more comfortable with myself and I care a lot less about what other people think of me because I’ve learned when you’re in the public eye, people will take every opportunity to criticize you whether you deserve it or not. Every girl goes through that in one way or another. It’s just part of life. I had every insecurity a high school girl faces and I’n not saying I’m completely over all of that but it’s never as bad as we make it. I have so much respect for girls who are totally happy with themselves.

I don’t really even like attention on me.

I don’t really have a talent. I can’t sing or act or dance or perform, those talents. All I can do is be myself. When I first moved to Los Angeles to do ‘The Hills,’ there were a lot of acting offers, but I had never really been interested in acting, although I did take a class to check it out. It was all right, but I just don’t think I could make a career out of something that I wasn’t really passionate about. Right now, I just wanna enjoy this for as long as it lasts. I’d rather have a career based on something that makes me happy… and that has always been fashion.

I have wanted to be part of the fashion industry my whole life. I've learned from living in Los Angeles that it's not necessarily what you know, but who you know. I've been given an opportunity with ‘Laguna Beach’ and ‘The Hills,’ and my father- who is the smartest man I know- has advised me to capitalize on those opportunities. So that's what I'm trying to do- make contacts, get to know people. Hopefully that will help me as I start moving into my fashion career. That's my big goal.

I’m just a normal girl who is comfortable with who she is. I don’t believe in changing yourself for anybody and I think it’s really important for girls to be as comfortable with themselves as possible. Sometimes I look at what really young girls wear and I can’t believe it- I have underwear that covers more than what some of them have on! I think it’s important that girls know they can be attractive and sexy in a classy way and that guys actually like that more than when they see girls who show a lot of skin. For me, I like clothes and I like to wear them to cover up.

I’ve cut most carbs from my diet and I work out with a trainer two days a week and hike when I can. I don’t think I look as much like a beach girl as I used to. I think I’ve just grown up. (asked about diet)

I’ve had a couple of people betray me. I’m not a person who believes in holding grudges but if one of my best friends did something really terrible to me it would be very hard to ever really trust her again. What would stop her from doing something like that again? It’s not like that person just changes and suddenly becomes different.

I'm a bad dater. I'm the most socially awkward person, like carrying on conversations and stuff.

Like everybody and trust no one.

Love is not a maybe thing. You know when you love someone.

My mother taught me to focus on being myself and not to worry what other people think about you. I know that as long as I'm a good person I'll stay on the right path. From my dad I learned that when someone tells you "No" it's only the beginning of a conversation. They both have always let me know that I can do anything I want to do as long as I don't give up. They are the most important role models in my life because they are exactly who I want to be when I grow up. They are supportive and understanding and I try every day to remember what they've taught me.

Shoes make me happy.
