When I see these young girls who are dreaming the dream that I'm living it's very very exciting and it puts a big smile on my face.

Usually girls weren't encouraged to go to college and major in math and science. My high school calculus teacher Ms. Paz Jensen made math appealing and motivated me to continue studying it in college.

For whatever reason I didn't succumb to the stereotype that science wasn't for girls. I got encouragement from my parents. I never ran into a teacher or a counselor who told me that science was for boys. A lot of my friends did.

Dinner is a great first date. Don't believe that stuff about girls not wanting to eat on a first date - sharing a romantic meal is so sexy.

I think it's great that she's not perfect and wasn't perfect. I think that's maybe why so many young girls and different people look up to Mac and respect her even more.

I have two sisters and a mother obviously so I grew up with a household of girls. Maybe I have a greater respect for women because of it.

It's important not to ditch your mates when you're in a relationship. Lots of girls do it but you need to remember they will always be there for you.

If I get married it's something you really have to work at. It's hard enough to work at having a relationship with best friends and girls that are in the business.

Ah the bond between English boys and California girls. For those of us who aren't either it's a bond that fascinates and mystifies. So much of the world's favorite music comes out of that relationship.

I'm not the same person I was. I used to act dumb. It was an act. I am 26 years old and that act is no longer cute. It is not who I am nor do I want to be that person for the young girls who looked up to me. I know now that I can make a difference that I have the power to do that.
