I come from a martial arts background so kicking and punching and using your hands and your feet is more of the art that I was taught.

I'm a 3rd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and 2nd degree in karate, and I'm a licensed bodyguard.

I love not being in a comfortable state, anyway. That makes for much more interesting storylines and an interesting story.

I've always approached acting from a passion point of view. It's what I love to do. The fact that we get paid is just a bonus.

I grew up in a martial arts gym surrounded by men and boys, and I pretty much call myself a tomboy.

My first car was a Chevy Cavalier. My dad somehow convinced me that it was a hot sports car because it was red.

There is truly no other place bearing so much love as airports.

Good philosophy is always hate speech to evil doers.

Listen to the way people talk. If your characters sound real the rest is easy.

I take it that I must be the eternal playfellow of time. For piety and common-sense and death are rightfully time's toys; and it is with these three that I divert myself.

Don't stare into a mirror when you are trying to solve a problem.

You know, it's hard as a writer to lose characters (and actors) you like. You really don't want them to die because you're not going to get to see them anymore.
