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.

I wanted to be a part of the Disney history.

That's always at the heart and soul of Disney's features, the feeling of a family values.

This is a Disney animated feature; it's eternal, it's history. What's there to think about'

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

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

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

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.

The kids all knew me from Wayne's World. The grown-ups knew me after True Lies.

As an actress, you're already disregarded for a lot of the parts by the people who are setting up those shows. You don't need your agent to be doing the same.

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

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

I can't sit on grass without a blanket.

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

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

Having the Stitch character, the villain that becomes a hero, coming from outer space, it took a very difficult and complex story and put it into a simpler, kinder time.

When I first came here, Hollywood was very closed-minded.

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 play a female Indiana Jones, a professor who hunts down precious objects, like a bowl that belonged to the Buddha. They tailored the role to me: I wanted to be smart, funny, and to kick some ass.

Did you know hemp is a natural fiber'

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

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

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

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

People want me to do the strangest things. They want me to sign their arms or chests.

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

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

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.

Doors open because youre beautiful but I wouldnt cultivate beauty to the exclusion of brains.

My kids enjoy the Disney program, Lizzy McGuire.

I wanted to be a part of the Disney history.

Disney had such a hold on the mind of America-they were Adolf Hitler. The whole country thought Disney was some sort of god and that animation was some sort of pure thing for children.

One of the best animated films I've seen come out of Disney was the Tarzan movie. I wasn't crazy about the story or the design on Tarzan's face, but the traditional animation was spectacular.

I have a 6-year-old, and his thing is to turn on Radio Disney in the car, and I get such an allergic reaction to listening to that music and the context into which it falls. I'm really working on him about that.

I'm saddened to see that some have been misled into believing that Mr. Disney was something other than a kind, caring man.

Disney made a fortune out of inventing the businessman's idea of the imaginary as the contradictory of the businessman's idea of the real.

Florida has tons of entertainment opportunities because Walt Disney World and Universal Studios are there.

We've been able to access deals that under our former relationship with Disney - with tax advantages and strategic partners - that we just weren't able to do.

That's always at the heart and soul of Disney's features, the feeling of a family values.

Someone at Disney heard one of the records and called me in to do the sounds of Lucifer the Cat in Cinderella.

I had the great good fortune to interview Peggy Lee. Her memories of working with Walt Disney and his team were warm and upbeat.

Disney has the best casting. If he doesn't like an actor he just tears him up.

I know that the work is good and they're excited over at ABC and Disney and it's getting some really good feedback. It's not just a little, insignificant kind of role. It's meaty, which is good.

Look what Disney's done to their animation department. There wasn't an animator in charge of their animation unit!

I mean when I was working shall we say with Disney, you know they sent me the script for the film Hercules and I had to imagine what all the characters looked like. And to develop those characters, so nothing exists visually when I get the script.

The cool part about working for Disney is that they've allowed me to be a change agent.
