I remember hearing stories from my mother and father about their parents and grandparents when they were taken off the reservation, taken to the boarding schools, and pretty much taught to be ashamed of who they were as Native Americans. You can feel that impact today.

A couple of girls I've signed autographs for have just cried or broken out into tears.

I feel like giving back is in my blood.

There was a point - when I was a kid - where I said I wanted to be like Luke Skywalker, with blond hair and blue eyes. My mom right there told me to never be ashamed of who I am.

I just want to do really good work.

It's not a bad day at work when you just have to take your shirt off for a big franchise movie. There are worse jobs out there!

There are some hot girls in Vancouver.
