QUOTES:

I am honored to be a Bond girl and be a part of the Bond legacy, To star in a video game with Connery, the original Bond, is incredible.

Back in the day after I won my first pageant there was an agency that was getting me work on the side.

A lot of people didn’t realize that I acted before I did anything else.
There’s something about taking a film from concept to script, through production, and then to see the final thing happening in the edit phase. It’s almost like a miracle in the making.

One of the first things I did was interview the President of the United States. Some people work their whole lives and can’t interview someone of that stature.

Integrity is integrity. I don’t push it to the side because I’m talking to Julia Roberts.

I think people think we’re all sipping martinis by the pool.

I think Channel One was very integral in my career.
