#Quote
1The reporter claimed he was going to write the article from my point of view. Instead, he made me sound like a little idiot. It made me never want to do another interview again.
2If there's a Disney animated feature based in Hawaii, I knew I had to be part of it. I'm very proud to be from Hawaii. There was no question the role was mine.
3As an actress, you're already disregarded for a lot of the parts by the people who are setting up those shows. You don't need your agent to be doing the same.
4I'm of Filipino, Spanish, and Chinese descent, and was raised on Hawaii.
5When 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.
6Did you know hemp is a natural fiber?
7Having the Stitch character, the villain that becomes a hero, coming from outer space, it took a very difficult and complex story and put it into a simpler, kinder time.
8That's always at the heart and soul of Disney's features, the feeling of a family values.
9Doors open because you're beautiful, but I wouldn't cultivate beauty to the exclusion of brains.
10I like theme parks. The fastest roller coaster I've ever been on is at a casino in Nevada.
11Beauty lasts five minutes. Maybe longer if you have a good plastic surgeon.
12I'm concentrating on the positive, on all the wonderful things I'm doing now.
13I had been gullible, naive, soft, pliable. That's why I got taken advantage of. To survive, you have to have a tough skin.
14I can't stand when people say, 'Don't hate me because I'm beautiful'. OK, how about I hate you because you said that.
15I act and perform in hopes of getting attention and admiration.
16Jason Lee is the most famous actor from Hawaii I can think of.
17I can't sit on grass without a blanket.
18People want me to do the strangest things. They want me to sign their arms or chests.
19This is a Disney animated feature; it's eternal, it's history. What's there to think about?
20I'm not really this rock'n'roll chick.
21I play a female Indiana Jones, a professor who hunts down precious objects, like a bowl that belonged to the Buddha. They tailored the role to me: I wanted to be smart, funny, and to kick some ass.
22The kids all knew me from Wayne's World. The grown-ups knew me after True Lies.
23When I first came here, Hollywood was very closed-minded.
24I slipped at a bus stop; I went one way and my hair went the other. That was the end of my wig.
25I wanted to be a part of the Disney history.
26I was very young. I thought I knew a lot and I really didn't. I trusted the wrong people.
27I love to sing, so I just figured that I was going to sing or something.
28I kind of fell into acting, but I have sung and trained since I was in the eighth grade.
