If you were to wake up at a different age, would you rather be 13 or 30?
"Probably 13. In four years I'll be 30 ... it's going to come anyway! I could get into more stuff ... I would have liked to get into more (sports)."	"Thirteen ... you can live life over and experience different things that you never did. Life is getting harder as it is."	"I'd rather be 13. Just the fact that I could start off fresh, you know, and actually have my knowledge now and then use it at a younger age. I think that would be my advantage."
William Hung -- did you buy his new album?
"No. Not into that kind of stuff. It's more entertainment to me ... but I wouldn't buy the album."	"No, but my boyfriend's planning on buying it. It's kind of funny. But I wouldn't buy it, because I'd just burn it!"	"No, but I ripped it off the Internet though. It's funny ... the first couple times, it's hilarious, but I don't really listen to it all the time."
Where's the best place to go for lunch?
"Puuwainani's Lunch Wagon ... by Restaurant Row, there's like an empty lot in the back. The food is pretty solid over there."	"Curry House. I like to go to the Pearlridge one. The curry udon -- it's good."	"I like Italian food, so I would say Pietro's. It's a grip (costs a lot) to go there, though. I just love their pasta; their garlic oil is just exquisite, man."
