I knew nothing about the independent film industry. I didn't know much about the industry itself. All I knew was how to watch movies, how to enjoy them, how to hate them, how not to like them.
The Dewey decimal system really works. So that's all I needed to know. Elementary school taught me that.
I love action. I love to move my body. Any chance I have to do that in my youth, I'll definitely jump towards it, for sure.
It's the board I had a problem with. I could totally handle being in the water and stuff. I came here to do my own stunts. Water! Ocean! Action! Big waves! That water, that water has tamed me. You can feel that the world is connected to it.
I don't see the point of marriage. But when I need my love, I get my love.
My dad was more, "Let's play chess. Read a book, you're stupid." He's more the intellectual type.
I'm stubborn. I'm hardheaded. I don't do what I don't want to do.
I don't want people thinking of me sexually. I don't want people to be like, 'She's hot-looking,' you know? I want them to listen to me for what I am saying. And I think the best way to do that is to sniff my armpits, and like, sit and burp every now and then. It just completely throws people off. I had a couple of offers to do some hot scenes in the shower with some guy and to make it real hot and sexy. The next thing you know, I'd be the next J.Lo or something. But that's easy. I want it the hard way.
I've gone both ways. I do as I please. I am too f**king curious to sit here and not try when I can. Men are intriguing. So are chicks.
I was born in Texas and I lived there 'till I was 8. Then I moved to the Dominican Republic with my mom, lived there for two years and forgot every word of English I knew.
I wish that something interesting would come across the desk. I'm bored by what people think is interesting.
My favorite part of my body is my brain. I think no matter what my body looks like I wont be satisfied unless I know how to use it.
The whole surf culture is starting to embrace women a lot more.
Whenever a female takes a strong stand for herself, the majority of the time they have to really, really narrow it down to being feminine and wearing dresses and just being lipstick chic.
