More quotes by 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
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'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
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
Our choices are going to determine the future for our children, our children’s children, and their children. I take that responsibility very seriously.
Maggie Q
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.
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
I know young people are all going to have different passions, but I would say that if you happen to have a heart for animals, never forget that without your voice, there is no channel for them.
Maggie Q
People always ask how there are female priests, but in this world there are.
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
You should see me during an action film. I look like an abuse victim.
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
I like PETA as a group for many reasons, but one of the reasons that I admire them is that they say and do the things that other groups won't do.
Maggie Q
We rarely grow when we're happy, we grow when we hurt.
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
The United Nations four or five years ago put out a study that said the meat industry, meat-eating, growing meat for food is the No. 1 killer of our planet - not No. 2 or No. 3: No 1. You know what’s No. 2? Transportation. Everyone thinks that No. 1 is transportation, and goes out and buys a hybrid car. Screw the hybrid cars. Don’t eat hamburgers.
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
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
My manager's biggest dream is for me to be on Letterman. She says, 'Oh, Maggie, will you promise me you'll be on 'Letterman?” What can I say? I just tell her I can't promise, but I'll try my best.
