They may be the big 3-0, but adorable actresses Cote de Pablo and Camille Guaty, as well as E! News host Kristina Guerrero, still feel young at heart.

Did turning 30 change you at all?

Cote de Pablo: I've always had a sense of responsibility—I think that comes with being the oldest kid in the family. Now, I'm getting more comfortable with acting a little younger and carefree because I've been so responsible my whole life. I'm letting go a little.

Kristina Guerrero: I’m constantly saying, '30? When did that happen?' There are times when I feel like I’m 13 years old—getting ready for high school, planning my Quinceañera and dreaming about college. I feel like a young girl daydreaming about my future and what it has in store for me.

Camille Guaty: I will always feel younger than my age. As the saying goes, "perception is reality.” Because I feel, therefore I am. This has been my personal fountain of youth.  The dimples help tremendously, I must add.

What do you do to show that you’re still very much young at heart?

Cote de Pablo: I still get very excited when people say they fall in love. It doesn't matter how old you are, falling in love is a beautiful thing. And I still act like I did when I was a teenager. I get fluttery and tap dance around. I'm never afraid of making funny faces or being completely goofy.

Kristina Guerrero: I still have an innocence and optimism about life—I’m open minded and fearless and willing to try anything. Also, I still get excited when I see The Goonies on TV; it’s still, to this day, one of my all-time favorite movies.

Camille Guaty: If I ever lose my sense of humor, you have permission to call me old! A typical Friday night consists of a bunch of my friends playing Sardines, Hide and Go Seek, Murder in the Dark and Mafia. You may think I'm joking…It’s the best night out you'll have in your adult life...why? Because you'll feel like a kid again!!


When you were 13, were you very different from the person you are today?

Cote de Pablo: Yes. When I was 13, I was a bit older!

Kristina Guerrero: I think I’m still very much the same—a happy and perky people person who loves to make people laugh. I was rebellious as a kid and still am, but I’ve channeled my rebellion from talking back to my mom to taking chances in life and in my career. My mother is especially grateful for that!

Camille Guaty: At 13, I was singing for my neighbors (who were younger) on a make shift stage and creating mini movies with my dad’s gigantic VHS recorder. Now I do karaoke and I act for other people who make big movies and TV shows.

If you could start your life all over again from age 13, would you? Or would you leave everything as is and not change a thing?

Cote de Pablo: I would leave it as it is and not change a thing, although I would probably have spent more time with my grandmother.

Kristina Guerrero: I wouldn’t change a thing, but I wish someone would’ve told me to chill out, not sweat the small stuff, and just enjoy the ride. Oh yeah—and I wouldn’t have used peroxide to lighten my hair!

Camille Guaty: I wouldn't want to start my life over again. If I could change a couple things they would be: 1) I'd make my parents get me into show business—going to a high school for performing arts was something I always wanted to do and 2) I would never worry about my body before 30!!!!
