I'm allergic to Hawaii. Everything there makes me react in some way.

I used to cry myself to sleep wishing I was ugly because of the way men leered at and disrespected me.

I think that being isolated from the Hollywood world of premieres and red carpet events was probably good for me because I could ease into those at will and by my own choice. But in other aspects, when it comes to fanfare, Hawaii is nuts and in L.A. they're all so jaded. They don't care.

I'm from Canada, and New Zealand feels like you took all the best bits of Canada and squished them onto a tiny island like Hawaii. I was absolutely blown away by the beauty of the South Island.

Your mind and soul are the kings of your physique way more than any exercise you do.

Believe me, there is nothing more rewarding than making Peter Jackson chuckle.
