Believe in, and follow your dreams.

I definitely felt that I was put at a very high place to be able to be a part of such a wonderful franchise in cinema history, so I was definitely very driven at doing a great job and having my body look the way it should and just being a part of the creative process.

I never really was much of a practical jokester or anything.

In the back of my mind I kept thinking, I`m fighting Arnold and I`ve got to be naked in front of the world. So that was enough incentive. I would work, like, 20 hours and work out constantly in my gym and my trailer because of the `birthing` scene, as I call it.

Your body has such a memory.

Playing a robot is possibly the most difficult role you can have as an actor, because you have to take all your innate emotional responses and completely suppress them. Even the way you walk is affected.

I just try to take it as it comes. One autograph at a time.

I`d like to go to Brazil I think. Do a little South America trip.

People were actually approaching me on the street and thinking that I was an athlete. They couldn`t quite place it, but a runner, or swimmer or something.

I think that you have to present an image that is... true to you, and... the way you would like to be perceived, so I think that through the years I`ve worked really hard at trying to create an image that is true to me.

I worked with a mime coach. I did weapons training. I did weight training.

I know that my life will change after this movie, but I just can`t prepare myself on no longer being anonymous.

I`m an equestrian, so I like to ride. Ride horses, I love to hike with my dog, love to travel. Most recently I went to Costa Rica, which I loved.

I`d like to do something a little different. Something a little less intense. I`m not sure what it`s going to be yet. For the first time in my life, it`s great to have choices, but I think I have to be very careful in choosing the right next project.

I don`t have a dishwasher, and I hate washing dishes.

When I got the [T3] job, my manager said, `Kristanna, just enjoy this last year of anonymity, because afterward you`re not going to be able to pump your own gas.` I feel ready. Why not?

I think I can try the film world out for a while.

I started acting when I was 13 in New York. Worked there for a couple years, then auditioned for a show there that was going to be filming here. Ended up coming out, getting the job and just staying.

Acting is what I`ve pursued since I was a child.

I can appreciate anybody`s passion for anything.

"... if the person with whom I connect happens to be a female, that`s just the way it is. That`s what makes my wheels turn"
