Money doesn't buy class.

My personal goals are to be happy, healthy and to be surrounded by loved ones.

When I meet successful people I ask 100 questions as to what they attribute their success to. It is usually the same: persistence, hard work and hiring good people.

I always trust my gut reaction; it's always right.

I'm still a little girl in Hawaii, I have the same friends I had when I was a kid who love me for who I am - not what I do. I never got caught up in the club scene or took wrong roads.

Treat everyone with respect and kindness. Period. No exceptions.

I am a control freak. I want to do what I want to do.

Every girl likes to be thought of and made to feel special.

Balance is key: I need to be successful in my career to feel fulfilled, be surrounded by people I care about to share it with, and have my health to be able to do the things I love to do!

I like when my man is worldly, know the finer things in life, is well traveled, and educated. It's important to me that he's able to talk to all types of people, from doctors to dishwashers.

Regarding one's career: always be prepared, no short cuts - hard work is the only alternative that really works.

When it comes to memories, the good and the bad never balance.

Gone are the days when girls used to cook like their mothers and boys used to dress like their fathers. Now girls drink like their fathers and boys dress like their mothers.

Today is yesterday's victory, yesterday is tomorrow's conquest, and tomorrow is today's war. Though I face death, I am not fearsome.

Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another.

Poetry is indispensable - if I only knew what for.

I prepare for a shoot by saturating my brain with images that have different moods or expressions.

I made True Detective like it was going to be the only thing I ever made for television. So put in everything and the kitchen sink. Everything.

As long as I have a good time, the audience usually has a good time.

I've always been a misfit.

I was confident about America and the idea that in America people can become American without masking their ethnic identity.
