We had over 7,200 people in this area alone that came to the Red Cross for assistance so we certainly need to be prepared if we have another hurricane season like last year.
I wasn't acting, I think I would like to do interior design. Yeah, because you know, with the Balinese background, and being there and buying furniture, stuff like that. I love to do-up our home, so I would be an interior decorator, for sure.
I think people who meet me just pretty much get what I am about.
I go to work, and think 'wow, they pay me for this', and I go home.
Mum and dad thought I was going to say I was pregnant. I said oh no, no, I've just been nominated for a Golden Globe. They were like, oh that's lovely, love.
I hardly knew anything when I first arrived. I had to learn how to act as I went along. After about a year I got a grip on what acting was all about and it started coming straight from my heart; I wasn't just saying the words any longer.
The vast majority of those we are assisting do not abuse this gift of the American people.
Huge party, from the day we started until we wrapped in Minneapolis. We'd all go to coffee in the morning and we became best friends. We were so excited to be in an all-girl film. was one big shopping spree. They put us in this hotel across from a shopping mall, and we were often late for work!
I just thought, 'I want to be an action hero.'
I had to learn everything about manufacturing, patents and how to run a business, and eventually I came up with an prototype that worked.
Everytime I get offered theatre I get offered a film role too.
From about eight years old I was always making things on the sewing machine. Friends would see me making dresses and costumes, and I'd use difficult fabrics such as Lycra and elastic. But you know, my dad was creative and my brother is inventive too.
I like to play different ranges. When you get really deeply involved in the emotional parts, I enjoy that just as much as the fun and laughter.
When you get the role, it's 'cause you know exactly how to play it, and they know that the way you're playing it is exactly what they want. I never go with a role and say that I need to change anything about it. Otherwise, I wouldn't take it.
