That was the action figure I was playing with. I grew up having this fantasy of being a superhero, being Princess Power.

I can't concentrate in flats.

If you can get your head around your dream it means your dream isn't big enough.

Before, being a model, it was just a job, and I was making fun of it. But today, I take my career more seriously.

When you're doing martial arts, you feel like you can master certain skills and be so much more in control of who you are, so that really appealed to me.

I've been really into boyfriend blazers, I like mixing tweeds with floral fabrics. The masculine and feminine look.

I really want my agent to make sure they write a part in the next Airbender movie for me. I'll be really upset if I don't get to be a waterbender or something.

I went to Mongolia many years ago and it was so incredible.

I love martial-arts movies. I grew up with my dad watching kung-fu theater every Sunday. So it was kind of my thing.

I'm very into the japanese sensibility. Oversize coats and baggy trousers.

I thought that being popular in school was just so pathetic. I knew I had a future over and beyond the horizon of that school.

I am a strong Ukrainian girl, that is why I work a lot.

I started super young, but when I think about myself at that age - what I thought I knew, and how priggish I was, how certain of things - now I realize that nothing is certain.

Bringing all 45 members of my crazy family together, and watching them argue is super awesome. It's good to do it just once a year.

When I think about myself at 15, I can't relate to myself at all. I thought I knew everything.

People say that I'm always late, but that's a myth
