From A.J.
"I have some amazing fans! They're just so dedicated and so nice and so sweet. I'm like NO ONE and I'm just starting out and these people appreciate your work and it's nice to hear that." A.J. on her fans
"She's just her own person, doesn't care what she wears. She just is who she is. I think it's great when people show that they are just themselves." A.J. Cook adds, "She is so not the pop princess. She has got a totally different image." A.J. on Avril Lavigne
"There are so many neat moments captured in the film that are so true to life. I think that’s why we get a lot of laughs. I’ve been in the theater with normal, everyday people and I just love hearing where they laugh and where we get responses, and that’s what I think is so great about it. It’s so true to life. Everyone remembers being at someone’s party, sitting on the couch, drinking punch, staring at the boy you like and not knowing if you should ask him to dance. Everyone can relate to that. Everyone remembers." AJ on The Virgin Suicides
"It's not as much fun as it looks, making these films, but it's exciting to put together, and people will be surprised by the ending." AJ on Ripper
"I'm happy for them. I know they've worked really hard for it, putting their careers first, instead of their personal lives.As for me, I've sort of done things in reverse. But I'm patient. I can wait. I believe someday it will be my turn." A.J on her co-stars who are successful
"I am just your everyday, average girl. I live by the beach. I wear flip flops. I don't wear make-up. I go to the gym. My husband and I are just really laid back people."
"I will not do nudity. I will not do a sex scene. There are just certain things I will not do."
On A.J.
"I think Shelby, who is nothing like A.J., or A.J. is nothing like Shelby in real life, is a very straight girl. She's a mormon. This was a real challenge for her to take this part, and she had to talk to her parents about it, too, because she didn't want them to be upset by the character she's playing. She's very particular about what she picks, but I'm glad she did, and I think she's a real find, too. She's wonderful." Joe Lando.
"AJ Cook does a great job as Molly and clearly demonstrates that she can carry a lead role with no trouble at all" Ben Pollock.
"AJ Cook really steps up in the role of Diana. Truth be told, she's probably a little too talented to star in this sort of film." Travis Lowell
"AJ Cook handles her part like a pro and gives a strong performance" The Arrow
"She was just awesome, we probably saw 200 people for that part and A.J. clearly stood out as being the strongest actress, she has a great range and could do all the emotional stuff very well and yet she’s also very strong which her character needed to be." David R. Ellis
