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

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.

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 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 favorite actor is Wallace Beery.

I've been a very lucky actor.

I don't think I could be happy as an actor if there was a tyrant on the set.

When I was starting to get noticed as an actor in the 1970s for something other than the third cowboy on the right who ended up dying in every movie or episode, Burt Reynolds was the biggest star in the world.

Most parts that can be played by one actor can equally well be played by another, but not this.

I think, frankly, that I'm a better director than I was an actor.

I knew an actor's career goes up and down and back up again. Your standing in this business can't be your whole identity; otherwise, you're doomed.

I don't think any actor feels comfortable watching themselves in movies. You must be very narcissistic. The problem with your own opinion of yourself is that contrary to the normal spectators, when you watch a film you are in, you only watch yourself.

I don't think there has been any increase in sophistication in the audience. When people are aware of a concept that's easy to understand, and there's an actor who will attract them to the theater and it's a movie that's funny three-quarters of the time, it will be successful.

I never dreamed about being an actor, because that was out of reach. Coming from a small town that was big in farming, and also big in clothing factories, you don't dream about being a professional football player or an actor.

My goal was always to be recognized as a good actor but no one was interested in that, simply because society just wants to warm towards your appearance. This is the great blemish of society.

If you really do want to be an actor who can satisfy himself and his audience, you need to be vulnerable.

To be honest with you, when I got into this I never thought about reviews. I never thought about what people would say about me. I was just a young guy who was excited to become a comedian and an actor and I just wanted to get to do what I got to do.

It was very natural for me to want to disappear into dark theater, I am really very shy. That is something that people never seem to fully grasp because, when you are an actor, you are meant to be an exhibitionist.

I think that I've still not been successful at playing the role of the retired actor, and I'd like to work on that.

And once you cease to be a real person, you stop being a good actor.

When I decided I wanted to be an actor, I said I wanted to work with quality actors and directors.

There are roles I want that my agency might not want me to do because of the subject matter or whatever. Or there are roles that people won't bring to me because they don't think I'll do it. And that is a big strain because an actor wants to act.
