I feel that the connection with children and mothers is so strong in places where there are not so many 'things' to get in the way, no electronic distraction devices, no high-tech baby equipment, just a mother carrying her little one everywhere, sharing a family bed and having the help of all the other women around to raise the baby.

What attracted me to A Perfect Getaway was that I sorta played a girlfriend role for, you know, 85 percent of the film. That was really interesting to me, because I'd never really played a girlfriend before.

I love martial-arts movies. I grew up with my dad watching kung-fu theater every Sunday. So it was kind of my thing.

My regular life today is reading books, making dolls houses, sewing dolls with my daughter and barbequing.

Self-defense is so important to know in today's society. It's not just that you might get mugged. It's more for confidence. It's the way you hold yourself when you walk into a room. Every step you take is more sure and you're much more aware of your surroundings. So, I think it's a really important thing - especially for women.

At the end of it all, it's my little movie library, and you see aspects of me through that.

If you feel like you're helping someone else, it helps you feel more in control of your world.
