I've certainly been very blessed. I can only say that I worked very hard in class and on set doing the best that I can at the moment. I was incredibly blessed with 'Battlestar'... I tried to work my little butt off just to keep up with everybody else and not too many people kicked me.
When people in Vancouver do recognize me, they hide it. I went to a store near my home and I know they're 'Battlestar' fans - they have pictures on the wall! - and I know they know me, but everyone was so smooth and pretended I wasn't there. Most people don't realize how good they are at acting in everyday life.
There's an inordinate amount of attention put on actors. Some people want to make their lives public, but that doesn't mean everybody does.
I don't know what it is about me that gets cast in specific roles. Some people would say, 'You're just a pretty face,' but on 'Battlestar,' I'm not looking pretty every day. I'm pretty banged up.
I'm looking forward to this year and I'm happy and relieved to get the first round out of the way. Shooting a first score of 66, I'm very happy. I had a little butterflies in my stomach starting off the round. That is why I'm relieved.
They just flat go for it. They're stronger, they've had great coaches and they're not afraid of anything. I'm not that old, but even I need to get some of that attitude back. It's not getting any easier to keep up.
I'm feeling good, ... For the last month or so I've been working very hard. I kept telling myself it's never too late to play well again, and I wanted to finish the season well. I'm glad that it's turning around.
I kept telling myself it's never too late to start playing well. I'm glad I'm turning it around.
I'm very excited to be in the position that I'm in, ... Obviously, I had a sour finish last year but, you know, I'm leading again, and I hope to have a different story at the end of the tournament.
To be honest my back is tight right now. It gets tight every day after a round. I have worked hard with my trainer to strengthen my back, and strengthen the areas that need to be strengthened in order to keep the pain away.
Acting in 'Command & Conquer 3' called for me to interact with the player and to look directly into the camera, which is a big no no when filming for TV or film.
I have had a few chances to play with Michelle, ... I think she is a sweet girl. She is a wonderful player, very strong and got great skills. But to me she is still a 16-year-old. When she talks to me she is like a little sister. We'll have fun playing together.
She brings that much more interest to the game.
Obviously, hard work is what gets them here. And the popularity of golf in Korea. There are a lot of them out here.
