Nikki: I think I'm as content as one can be. (edit)

Nikki: Mary and I look eerily similar but other than that, the differences are pretty much night and day. (edit)

Nikki: I still don't know quite what I'm supposed to do or be. (edit)
Nikki: Filming scenes like that are always odd but I feel comfortable with Josh [Duhamel] and care about him a great deal, so it could be much worse. Scenes like that are just part of the job. (edit)
Nikki: But I'm not going to lie, there's a gross part of my ego that was terrifically flattered - a 16-year-old kid who all her life had been made fun of, when people say, 'You look nice,' of course you're going to feel good. (edit)
