Rachel contemplated going to school to become an interior designer.

Rachel: (asked how much she has in common with her "Days Of Our Lives" character, Chelsea) In the beginning, not much, but since I've been playing her, I've been maturing on my own. There are a lot of things I'm acquiring from her, like her independence and her rebellious thing. I got my ear cartridge pierced in Australia and I thought, "It totally works for Chelsea, Awesome!" Then I got my second holes done and put highlights in my hair. I can get funky and it works for her. I love my character.
(edit)
Rachel: (on the response she gets when meeting fans of "Days Of Our Lives") When I started, everyone told me, "Don't take it personally. People are going to come up and hate you." I get it. Sometimes, there's a character I don't like in a movie and I see the actress in person, but don't immediately make the connection. I just get this feeling that I don't like her.
(edit)
Rachel: (on visiting Australia) It's not that different from America. It's similar, but it's still different in culture ways that make you feel, "Oh, this is better than America!" Then you come back here and think, "Thank God I'm American," but you can't wait to go again. I might have to move there one day.
(edit)
Rachel: (on visiting Australia) Oh man, I just went for my first time. I shouldn't have waited as long. It was great. I'm in love with Sydney. I went to visit a friend there, but I also did a day of PR, which was fun, too. I've got the travel bug now.
(edit)
Rachel: (on her Christmas tradition) My tradition is to buy a sad one (tree) that will be killed. It has to fulfil its Christmas destiny! My family usually goes to the movies on Christmas night and always opens a gift from my aunt and uncle on Christmas Eve.
