Quotes

  • Lexa: As far as my early days as a professional actor go, I'm no longer subsisting off a diet of Ichiban and Kraft Dinner... Life is good.
  • Lexa: Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought the fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
  • Lexa: Ignorance... stupidity I can forgive, you can't help it if you were born with a low IQ. But ignorance, choosing not to educate yourself, is unforgivable.
  • Lexa: I don't believe in regrets. Some of the worst mistakes I've made in my life have yielded the most powerful lessons that I may not have learned otherwise.
  • Lexa: People would be surprised to know that, I'm a really big geek. I do dorky things, I snort when I laugh, I'm clumsy, I'm a sucker for RPG games on my computer, I watch cartoons, and I have a really bad potty mouth.
  • Lexa: I walked out of the audition absolutely convinced I had blown it, and then my agent called to tell me I got the part. I was leaping around my parents' house and screaming at the top of my lungs. I knew then I'd chosen the right profession and I've never looked back since.
