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.

I take class. I'm always ballet ready. I'm ready to go - got my tights and my shoes.

As an actress I find the most enjoyable part of acting is really just to please the director. I just want to please my director.

I grew up in Honolulu. It's not the ballet cultural mecca by any stretch of the imagination. People are much more familiar with hula than they are with ballet.

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.

There are many ways you can make money. Certain ways will make you happy, certain other ways will make other people happy. But if you go in because there's money in there, you're bound to fail, bound to fail!

I don't want to tell people what I make. It's a lot more than I ever dreamed of as a kid. I never think about it.
