I think I'm not always what I seem.

My heart is in helping people and in the less materialistic side of things, but there's the side of me that's more polished.

A month and a half after my first audition, I won the role on Lost.

As a filmmaker, you have to understand the essence of the book and tell the story you want to see on the screen, and hopefully please yourself - because you cant possibly please everyone.

I think that being isolated from the Hollywood world of premieres and red carpet events was probably good for me because I could ease into those at will and by my own choice. But in other aspects, when it comes to fanfare, Hawaii is nuts and in L.A. they're all so jaded. They don't care.

I'm a very stubborn woman and I'm from a very stubborn family of headstrong women. I have sisters, so the women rule the coop in my house.

I enjoy the idea that even though I'm resting, I'm accomplishing something by reading a book.
