- Lyndsy: IMTA [International Modeling & Talent Association] was a lot of fun. Its how I imagine college might be - where you room with a bunch of other girls and then go off to classes together.

- (on what drew her to play the character Dawn in "Remember the Daze") Lyndsy: I guess I could relate to her in many ways. I remember when I was that age, high school age, and being really insecure with yourself, wanting to be loved and wanting to fit in and wanting to find out who you are, maybe going about things the wrong way. I also found somewhat of a strength in her, that she wanted to come out with being gay, and I thought that was very courageous of her.

- Lyndsy: I had moved to L.A. when I was 12. I didn't really keep in contact with my friends from middle school. I had very nice friends and everything, but I always felt a little different. It was kind of like a small-town suburbia. I wanted to just break out of that kind of environment - I never really felt like I was at home there. When I moved to LA it was really when I was like, 'OK, I'm home. This is something that I can be passionate about.'
