I can't sit on grass without a blanket.

I'm of Filipino, Spanish, and Chinese descent, and was raised on Hawaii.

I'm concentrating on the positive, on all the wonderful things I'm doing now.

When I first met my agent, I said, "If something comes up and it fits my age range and personality, I would like you to send me up for it, even if it specifies blonde or brunette."

Jason Lee is the most famous actor from Hawaii I can think of.

The way I write is really like putting one foot in front of the other. I really let the characters do most of the work, they start talking and they just lead the way.

Those who can envision a plausible future that's brighter than today will earn the opportunity to lead.
