I did karate for about three years. When I was going into Miss Texas, my mom said, 'Let's not do karate this year. Let's not have any knocked-out teeth on the stage.'

The most important mark I will leave on this world is my son.

I'm a wife and a mother. I don't want to be immature; I have to be ready at all times.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

James Bond is quite serious about his drinks and clothing and cigarettes and food and all that sort of thing. There is nothing wry or amused about James Bond.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.
