I'm very picky when it comes to men. I come across a man who I'm really attracted to about once every five years.

The way I've been able to embrace fame is by realizing that celebrity is just a means to send whatever message you want out into the world.

The directors did an amazing job and Josh Holloway is just he's just shining. I think that, of the people I started working with, he's one of the people I'm most impressed with. How he's grown and learned and he's been just stunning everyone with his performances.

One of the great pleasures of working in Middle Earth is you get to be another being.

Money is the longest route to happiness.

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.

Writing is my number one passion. I've written two novels. I've written a screenplay. I also write short stories and poetry.
