Nina (referring to playing a teenage mother):
It was challenging because it’s not me. I went to a lot of web sites that dealt with teenage pregnancy. I read a lot of stories about girls having to go through what Mia did [Mia is Nina’s character on DEGRASSI]. There’s the alienation factor and there are all the stories and rumors, having everybody judge you. It isn’t easy.

Nina (talking about a strange fan experience):
Okay, my strangest fan experience was when I was in LA with Miriam [McDonald] and Cassie [Steele]. We were in a restaurant, and I went to the washroom and at one point when I walked out of the stall, this girl took a picture of me with her cell phone! And then after that, another girl came up to me and said, “Why did you kill JT?!” Obviously I was shocked… I didn’t kill JT! It’s a character and my character’s fictional. It was very strange
