[on being labeled a genius] I really liked to be treated like a normal person. I'm one of you. I'm not from outer space.
[on attending the University of Southern California] I'm tickled pink to be here. In fact, I enjoy it. You see, I'm an only child. And everyone here treats me like a younger sister, so it's like having a lot of brothers and sisters.
I was 8 months old when I started walking and talking.
By the time I'm 21 I hope to be a fully fledged doctor and lawyer.
I want to be a lawyer, but I'm also interested in medicine. I really want to do both.
[on attending the University of Southern California in her early teens] I hope the other students aren't jealous or find it difficult studying with me. I don't mind it at all. I'm not bothered about being younger than the rest.
[on being called a genius] I really prefer not to be called that. I'm a normal person.
