Personal Quotes:

"I know that my life will change after this movie, but I just can't prepare myself on no longer being anonymous."

"Believe in, and follow your dreams".

"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."

"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?"

"Acting is what I've pursued since I was a child."
