Tori Spelling on Her Character

“What I love about Donna is she’s never jaded. Donna can kind of go through anything and she still has that girlish quality about her. I think that’s something she’d have at any age. … That’s Donna to me.”

“I didn’t want to go back to playing funny, silly, ditzy Donna and not have her mature. She’s married. She has a baby now. But I found her quite easily. I forgot that Donna is me to the core.”
