welcome to rossum source

In school they used to call me Emmy Possum. I prefer Emmy Awesome. I mean, Emmy isn’t that common of a name. My real name is actually Emmanuelle. But I go by Emmy because it’s easy for people to pronounce.

Every time someone anyone asks about nudity, like, who cares? There’s so much more important things about the show than the fact that I show my boobs, like, who cares?

By the way, my name is Rossum. It rhymes with Possum.

There’s a lot alien for me about my character. I grew up in New York City, and I’m an only child. But there are common themes: I experienced loneliness and abandonment as a kid, raised by a single parent. Now (talking about it), I feel like I’m in therapy. [x]

The truth is, I probably didn’t want to be friends with some of those girls [from prep school], because I found that a lot of their values were a little specious. Now, of course, all those girls are calling me and being like, “We should have lunch!” and I’m like, “Um … don’t you remember how you didn’t like me that much?”

I hope that I’m sexy in a different kind of way than I think that a lot of girls are right now. I think a lot of girls in the public eye, especially musical artists, are just kind of objectified a little bit and wearing super-skimpy outfits and leaving nothing to the imagination.

My name is Emmy Rossum and I have a joke which I hope it’s funny. By the way, my name is Rossum. It rhymes with Possum or Awesome. Whatever you choose. That’s not my joke, though.
