And god gave her an eating disorder ad she really likes Ron Paul.  Oh, why am I telling you this, you can read it all in her own words:<!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>They told me if I lost 20 pounds that they&#8217;d sign me. And I was like, wow&#8230;.And I had, like, an eating disorder in high school for a bit, so it&#8217;s like, I think God kind of put me through that to, you know, make me stronger for when situations like that kind of come up and still come up, obviously.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>On her early days in LA:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Oh, my God. I lived, like, on a mattress, like, with this crazy girl. We lived in, like, a room with, like, these people&#8217;s house and, like, they didn&#8217;t allow us to use their kitchen. So we had, like, a little refrigerator. Like, it was really funny. But I mean, at the time&#8230;Oh, I had, like, four jobs. I worked for like, coffee shops, waitressing. I did extra jobs. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230; on Ron Paul (she tweeted a comment of support) &#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Oh, Ron Paul. Yeah&#8230;.in Iowa. Ron Paul&#8230;I was, like, sitting at home with my brother watching Leno. And, you know, he was on Leno, and I was like, man, I was like, I like this dude. I liked him the last time around. I like a lot, you know, he believes in states having their rights, and I think that that&#8217;s very important.<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;ve always been about less government, and so I like him. And that&#8217;s &#8211; it&#8217;s as simple as that, man. That&#8217;s all I said. I was like, oh, man, I like Ron Paul. Too bad he&#8217;s probably not going to get the nomination, but I, you know, I like him. And then the whole freakin&#8217; world, like, it went into a frenzy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>On guns: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>RAZ: OK, fine. You own nine guns, I read.<\/p>\n<p>CLARKSON: I do, nine.<\/p>\n<p>RAZ: And you sleep with a Colt 45.<\/p>\n<p>CLARKSON: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RAZ: That&#8217;s true?<\/p>\n<p>CLARKSON: Yes. Well, I live alone.<\/p>\n<p>RAZ: I got it. Fair enough, OK.<\/p>\n<p>CLARKSON: So, yeah, I live alone, so I&#8217;m not going out like that. I got no chance if some man breaks into my house.<\/p>\n<p>CLARKSON: So, yeah, I have a gun.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Like, cool. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And we take that to mean the pistol, not the malt liquor.
