[about Christopher Pettiet] I had the biggest crush on Christopher. I would do anything to be with him, to kiss him, but he was in love with Christina, so it was really hard. I remember when we wrapped, I gave Christopher a surfing book as a present and wrote something sappy inside, like, 'You'll call me when I'm 18' or something ridiculous like that. We ended up going out on a couple of dates right before he passed away when we were in our twenties. I randomly ran into him and we reconnected and I was like, 'Oh my god, I can't believe this is happening.

It was going to be my thing.
