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

I started super young, but when I think about myself at that age - what I thought I knew, and how priggish I was, how certain of things - now I realize that nothing is certain.

That was the action figure I was playing with. I grew up having this fantasy of being a superhero, being Princess Power.

My husband is like, "Oh, thank God we didn't have a boy, because there's this train set that I've always wanted, and these Star Wars spaceships . . ." They say, "Don't spoil your kids," but it's one thing spoiling your kids, it's another thing spoiling yourself.

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

I'm very into the japanese sensibility. Oversize coats and baggy trousers.

I really want my agent to make sure they write a part in the next Airbender movie for me. I'll be really upset if I don't get to be a waterbender or something.
