    • Jenna: (about her unusual character name on "Blossom") First of all, let me answer the question that I get asked all the time: Where did you get the name Six? Well, in the pilot episode, my character explained that her father joked because that's how many beers it took. The real reason is that the son of the man who created the show went to school with a girl named Seven, so they just deducted one and called me Six.
    • Jenna: (about "Blossom") I am so appreciative and grateful for that time in my life. People still come up to me and call me Six, and I never mind. But...I just hope people realize that I'm Jenna, not Six, and that I've done other things since that time.
    • Jenna: (about her debut album) It was crucial for me to have complete creative control. The album is wholeheartedly me. I'm 31, and at this point, I don't want someone to mold me into something. I'm very confident with who I am.
    • Jenna: I love comedy and the instant gratification of people "getting" a joke. I really hope they put Blossom out on DVD soon, because that was my childhood.
    • Jenna: (On her last name) My last name is German and both my grandparents immigrated from Germany. The name is actually composed of two parts..."von", denotes land ownership, and "Oy" refers to a region in the lower Rhine. The family name predates any national borders and the ancestoral estates are in present day Holland. In fact, ruins of a castle still exist there. In current Dutch, the "Oy" mimics the Dutch word for stork and our family crest does portray a stork.
    • Jenna: I was born with the name Jennifer. However, when I was 2 years old, my guardian angel (no joke!) came to me in a dream and told me her name was Jenna (I'd never heard the name before.) She said my name was supposed to be Jenna also. After that, I refused to answer to the name Jennifer anymore. No one has called me Jennifer since then. I legally changed my name a few years later (by then even my parents were convinced it was meant to be!) As for my middle name, it's Jean. Thus my full name is Jenna Jean von Oy.
    • Jenna: (talking about her favorite book) When I was little, any book from the Nancy Drew series and The Secret Garden. I am also addicted to a series of books by author Patricia Cornwell, which revolve around a female Chief medical examiner named Kay Scarpta. I love books about forensics and homicide cases.
    • Jenna: It's truly amazing what one finds out about one's self on the Internet. For instance- I had no idea I was a smoker, not to mention the fact that I supposedly smoke Salems... I guess people will spread rumors about anything and everything, huh?
