I think I'm a very pretty girl. I'm never going to pretend to think otherwise. There are even days I feel I'm fabulously hot and sexy. I'm grateful for my looks. My family is doing well because of them. I can make career choices and turn down movies because of them and I have been making money from them for 17 years. My looks are who I am.

I've been really into boyfriend blazers, I like mixing tweeds with floral fabrics. The masculine and feminine look.

When I learn martial arts, my master will have me try a punch for a week and he will keep saying, 'No, you don't have it. No, that's not right.' When he finally says, 'Yes, you did it,' it's a wonderful moment. You worked on it. You got it.

There are many times where even I, at certain points in the evening, after a few drinks, can't pronounce my own surname.

What's interesting about the movie and characters is that they're one thing to the world and another thing in their heads.

You have the energy when you're a kid to really fight for rights - that's why kids make great soldiers, right?

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