17. (on her role of circus knife thrower called Lynne in her new movie "The Warrior's Way") Well it was certainly different! She's kind of Calamity Jane, loose cannon kind of kooky character. And there was a lot of butt-kicking as well so that was fun.

18. (on her role of circus knife thrower called Lynne in her new movie "The Warrior's Way") Training for the film was difficult, exhausting, brutal…but pretty fulfilling.

There was a lot of martial arts training and I wish I'd had a little bit more time to spend on the moves, but we didn't really have it so we were trying to do as much as possible.

30. I used to really want to go on the stage and then the last couple of years I've done some presenting at some award shows. I was so nervous I thought I was going to be sick, so I don't think me on stage for any length of time would work too well.

40. I really wanted to go to high school and be normal.

41. (on the experience of living with her co-stars during the filming of "Blue Crush" 2002) Of course everybody had their own little thing. My worst thing was ice cream, I was so intense about that.
