Hell, I would be terrified if Hollywood showed up in my community and was going to pick a scab, ... The other thing was: 'How are the men going to be portrayed?' You have to understand what the men struggled for. At the end of the day, it was survival for both sexes. That doesn't justify the behavior, but in this community, this mine was the one thing they considered theirs and their fathers' and brothers'. The women were taking jobs in a community where there were no jobs to be taken. |
I am a huge fan of the show, and I'm very picky with my comedy. I don't get to do comedy very often, and when they asked me, I jumped at the opportunity. I was ready to do something for fun. |
I can't change the way I look nor can I sit back and let that rule my life when I know in my heart that I'm a real girl, |
I come from a ballet background; I did ballet for 12 years and I consider that my theater. I told stories with my body for 12 years and then came into this industry. I couldn't let go of that and it's still important to me. I really wanted to learn the skills of what Aeon had. I wanted to learn gymnastics; I didn't want to just be on wires and fake everything. I learned some skills I never thought I would learn. |

I don't want to ever step on anybody's life, |
I feel really lucky to have the body I have; I love it! |
I feel so fortunate that I am in a relationship with a wonderful man. I find it incredibly unfair that because of our sexual preference, we have the rights that we have, and that, because of someone else's sexual preference, they don't have those same rights. |
I had big dreams when I came here, but this is an incredibly amazing gift ... two cherries on top of the cake. |
I had big dreams when I came here, but this is an incredibly amazing gift, ... If somebody had told me then that this would have happened one day, I would have laughed in their face. |
I had just arrived in Hollywood and didn't have a manager or agent. A very well known director contacted my modeling agency and said he had a small part for me in a big action film, |

I think of myself as a highly sexual creature. |
