She was colorful and wonderful. When you do television, it goes into everyone's living room and they feel like they can watch you every week.
I'll play Charlie's granddaughter. We're turning it all on its head.
I love Lisa. We went to school together in Beijing, at the Beijing Normal School.
I think people sometimes get the wrong impression when they're like, Oh, well, so-and-so was straight and then she was gay, and now she's straight again, you know? But it's like, how many times do I have to kiss a woman before I'm gay? Everybody wants to label people. Sometimes you just fall in love with somebody, and you're really not thinking about what gender or whatever they happen to be. It think that if I happen to fall in love with a woman, everyone's going to make a big deal out of it. But if I happen to fall in love with a man, nobody cares.
You can't look back; you have to keep looking forward.

The wonderful thing about film is that you have something that has a beginning, middle, and end, and you have a concrete amount of time to shoot it.
You have to hope that you don't have to wear a mask and you don't have to put prosthetics on your face to make yourself look believable.
When you work with chains or any kind of weapons, or just when you're using hand-to-hand combat, you are going to get hurt.
Women who wear kimonos, when the fight, they have to keep their knees together, and when they use a sword, they have to move the sleeves otherwise it gets caught.
