I'd left Hawaii twice in my life, so I'd been on an island my whole life. I had no clue. I didn't know how to live in a city.

More quotes by Maggie Q
I'm just totally into being strong. There's something about wanting to get a jar or whatever out of a high cupboard, or moving a sofa over because my dog's bone rolled under it, and not having to call anyone for help. There's comfort in that.
Maggie Q
There is nothing cooler than having lines like, 'Batman, the fate of the world is upon us.' Who gets to say that? And who gets to say that in a deep, earnest, amazingly sexy way?
Maggie Q
I love film, very, very much, and I always want to go back to it.
Maggie Q
J.J. Abrams is a director with no ego. He is a director who has a very consistent attitude when he's at work. He's funny, he's brilliant, he's a combination of all these really great things. J.J. is the kind of person who sees the bigger picture before anybody else does. It sounds simple but not all directors do that.
Maggie Q
I don't do anything but sleep, when I'm not working. I have no life. I'm no fun. All I want to do is sleep and get ready for the next day. It's awesome.
Maggie Q
You should see me during an action film. I look like an abuse victim.
Maggie Q
I was basically a broke student, and I moved to Asia and was making some money to go back to school. One thing led to another, and I was supposed to stay two months, but it ended up being eight years. It was the best mistake I ever made.
Maggie Q
The 1970s 'Wonder Woman' was sort of a kitsch thing. It was a very specific time for that, and it's hard to modernize something like that.
Maggie Q
I'm bringing what I've always wanted: film quality work on television. That's the way it should be.
Maggie Q
I went back to China and did a movie in Mandarin, and I don't speak Mandarin, so I learned it phonetically. Now, when I'm on set and somebody gives me English lines, I'm like, Are you kidding? What's happening? This is amazing!
Maggie Q
Facebook? I have no clue about it. MySpace, none of that. I'm the worst.
Maggie Q
We've all, at some point in our lives, been in a position where we have felt powerless.
Maggie Q
When I started in film, I was living and working in Asia, and when we did films there, it was so fast. It was much like TV.
Maggie Q
When I was young, I remember having a particular pain about injustice. Suffering hurt me.
Maggie Q
It's just cool for a girl to be able to do her own thing. I do a lot of movies, and I'm very lucky, and I'm not complaining. But in movies, alongside big action men, we've always got to take a step back and let the men shine.
Maggie Q
I've gotten used to the point where I'm so used to being sweaty! I like to wear less makeup and be tougher!
Maggie Q
When people go through tragic circumstances, it's not that there is no love there, but it's so hard to deal with and sometimes the gap starts to happen.
Maggie Q
People always ask how there are female priests, but in this world there are.
Maggie Q
I weirdly feel very natural, in the physicality that comes my way, whether it's guns, cars or whatever. For some reason, it's second nature to me.
Maggie Q
When you come to America, it's a very serious thing. It's not like you arrive and they say, 'Hey, come on! Do movies!' I can't just be hopping around. I have to focus and be still and make sure that I put the time and effort in. Because if I don't, I could lose it like that.
Maggie Q
