lose models thinner
I was probably 10 to 15 lbs. thinner than I am now and I was always being told I had to lose another 10 lbs. And all the models there were rail-thin.
cold submerged thrown top underwater wearing wet winter
We got a little wet. We got blasted, man. We were on top of a sub, on top of a boat, submerged underwater when we get thrown off the sub and the boat. It was winter there, and we were wearing wet suits, but you still get cold and damp. It was intense.
leave spent sundays time work
We usually work 14-hour days, and sometimes 16 to 18 days, which doesn't leave much time for anything else - most Sundays are spent recovering.
marine mets flattering
Almost every Marine I've met says I portray a Marine dead-on, which is really, really flattering.
fitness healthy vitamins
When I do get time, I like to hike and I take lots of vitamins and powders to keep healthy.
birthday stars fun
The main prank that we play with props is for people's birthdays. The special effects people will put a little explosive in the cake so it blows up in their face - that's always fun to play on a guest star, or one of the trainees or someone who's new.
uncles hard-work thinking
I think my uncle was probably the biggest influence in my life. We grew up in the same house, and he was just a really great, hard-working, honest, ethical person.
strong silly people
People are always surprised that I have a funny side because I'm usually so intense, strong and dramatic. But, I'd love to do something really, really silly and funny.
journey use information
Not as much as I used to, but I use the Internet for everything. I use it for information. Like if I'm planning a trip or something, I'll check out the place I'm going to.
girl respect thinking
I think it's great that she's not perfect and wasn't perfect. I think that's maybe why so many young girls and different people look up to Mac and respect her even more.
girl teenager character
I get letters from kids, teenagers and young girls who just want to be Mac. I've had quite a few people actually say that they're going to become a Marine or a JAG lawyer because of me... the character. I think that's pretty cool!
husband museums mountain
I love England though; I've been back a few times and just love it. My favorite thing to do there is going to museums and all the castles. Oh, and my husband and I went mountain biking across England on our honeymoon!
men understand-me knows
I understand men much better than most women I know.
found industry bits
It's changing a bit, but the thing in LA is everyone is either in the industry, or knows someone who is in the industry. So, they don't let on that they recognize you, that's what I've found out.
