I was class president, on the cheerleading squad, in a competitive show choir, and in, like, six different clubs.

I was involved in a bunch of school activities - I was a cheerleader, I was on the chess team, I was vice president of my class.

I have to prove myself in a lot of ways - as an actor, as a person, as someone who can handle pressure.

I basically became a cheerleader because I had a very strict mom. That was my way of being a bad girl.

I was a cheerleader for nine years!

I want to be a cheerleader for women who have never even considered running for office or being involved in a campaign, but who in the quietness of their hearts might think, 'Why not me?'

You know, people want to honor me, and on the one hand I just don't want to be a poster child; but on the other, I want to do something classy and great - something where the residuals will go to the cause.

If I had made it in cheerleading, I would have never been an actress.

I once wanted to prove myself by being a great actress. Now I want to prove that I'm a person. Then maybe I'll be a great actress.
