Since my mom is the President of Ballet Hawaii, I'm always in touch with stuff going on.

I will always have a career. I believe in working. I don't believe that taking care of your house and children is enough for a woman. You don't feel complete.

How do you explain certain physical qualities that somehow sell on screen? You're born with it... Certain people are just more watchable, and I was more watchable, but I don't think I understood acting or drama very well when I was a kid.

My fairy-tale life ended the moment I wanted to apply for a passport.

If you have the right costumes you feel more confident as the character, they really help you act.

The young people, they don't knock on the door politely and say "May I come in?" They barge in, they take your seat, and you're obsolete unless you recreate and somehow find grace somewhere else. Another profession may not be like that.

I would never offer advice without the person asking for it. I, in general, don't believe in giving advice, actually, as a human being I don't.
