Laura Vandervoort

“I don't know what it is about me. I don't know if there's something strange... but I continue to play aliens, so there's obviously something there.”

“I still want to do a romantic comedy or a western or a gritty independent film... there's so much that I still want to do.”

“I grew up doing martial arts, and I'm a second-degree black belt.”

“I've played such serious characters that no one sees me the way I actually am, which is completely cheesy and goofy, so it would be fun to do a romantic comedy and just have a good laugh.”

“A lot of people think that reptiles don't feel, and they do. I think everyone should keep in mind what it is they are buying and if it is really worth it to them.”

“I always do my own stunts, as much as possible. I'm a little stubborn about it.”

“Hollywood is something imagined... acting is something crafted.”

“I don't necessarily want to know what people are saying when I'm not around, especially if it's about me. I just don't need to hear extra garbage.”

“I've done a lot of sci-fi, so I was a little hesitant because you get pigeonholed into that genre and world. But at the same time, I love sci-fi because the women are so strong and independent and smart.”

“I started doing martial arts when I was about 7, and I got my second degree black belt when I was 19. So I have my second degree black belt, but I've never used it, and I had to stop when I got 'Instant Star' because I couldn't train.”
