You’ve done a lot of things during your career that you should be
proud of -
can you tell me about the ones that stick out the most in your
mind?
"The Opponent"
is a film I'm very proud of. No stunt doubles... I worked very hard for that show. "The Beverly Hillbillies"
was a blast.
What has been your most challenging role yet?
I
think doing Celeb. fit club. ... not having a "role" to hide behind and being so vulnerable.
Celebrity Fit Club 4 - what was the experience like for you?
Amazing ! to step outside
all comfort zones and expose myself that way was empowering and liberating.
How do
they go about finding celebrities willing to participate - did you volunteer?
No volunteering here. They
phoned me and I said no thank you a few times initially.
Was it hard to make the
decision to do the show? Why did you decide
to do it?
Extremely difficult. As an actress,
if you put on weight [as I did, due to my pregnancy] you don't tell people about it ! every "blockade" I threw
up, they knocked down. It was meant to be.
What did you learn
from the show, and what was the highlight of the experience? How has the show opened your eyes?
If
you stay focused and faithful, there's absolutely nothing you can't accomplish. It's time to challenge myself
daily, and not always stay in my comfort zone.
What things are you doing now
to stay in shape?
I've always been active and worked out. I'm resuming my pre-pregnancy training
with weights and running.
What would you say to other women or girls that feel overweight
or obese - what advice would you give them?
If you put your mind to your goal and your heart and soul
and stay focused and consistent you can absolutely lose the weight. But most important, LOVE YOURSELF FOR WHO YOU ARE INSIDE
! ... it's what really matters.
Are you working on any
new projects?
We have a few things on the horizon for the fall, and we are producing a action drama series
for later in 07-08.
I know you probably have no regrets in life, but what is one thing that you would do differently during your career if you
had the chance to go back and start all over?"Feel the fear and walk through it anyway" [that's
actually the title of a book] .. not let fear dictate my decision making process, not have been so afraid to fall.
So what do you like to do in your spare time?I like to spend my
time with my daughter Indyanna, Roch and my 2 dogs.
What makes
you laugh? What brightens up your day?
My little girl makes me laugh and she brightens every moment
of my existence.
What makes you cry?
Thinking
about my daughter grown up and losing loved ones.
How would
you like people to perceive you?
As kind.
What would you like
to achieve in life and in your career?
I would like to raise my child to be joyful, fulfilled, balanced.
that would be a big achievement. Continued diversity in my career.
Do
you have daily routines?
You have to with a baby ! .. for myself, running.
Where and what would you like to be doing twenty years from now?
Hanging out with Roch,
being there for my daughter.
