If 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.

The 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.

When 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.

I had been gullible, naive, soft, pliable. That's why I got taken advantage of. To survive, you have to have a tough skin.

Beauty lasts five minutes. Maybe longer if you have a good plastic surgeon.

Doors open because you're beautiful, but I wouldn't cultivate beauty to the exclusion of brains.

I'm concentrating on the positive, on all the wonderful things I'm doing now.

I'm of Filipino, Spanish, and Chinese descent, and was raised on Hawaii.

Did you know hemp is a natural fiber'

I act and perform in hopes of getting attention and admiration.

I can't sit on grass without a blanket.

I can't stand when people say, 'Don't hate me because I'm beautiful'. OK, how about I hate you because you said that.

I kind of fell into acting, but I have sung and trained since I was in the eighth grade.

I like theme parks. The fastest roller coaster I've ever been on is at a casino in Nevada.

I love to sing, so I just figured that I was going to sing or something.

I slipped at a bus stop; I went one way and my hair went the other. That was the end of my wig.

I wanted to be a part of the Disney history.

I was very young. I thought I knew a lot and I really didn't. I trusted the wrong people.

I'm not really this rock'n'roll chick.

Jason Lee is the most famous actor from Hawaii I can think of.
