Quotes by Kristin Kreuk
I never dreamed of being an actor, but I’m beginning to love it more and more because I like challenging myself. When I feel like I’m not learning or having fun anymore, then I’ll stop.
I quit karate originally because it wasn’t something that I was initially passionate about.
I started doing martial arts when I was a kid. I don’t often get that kind of role, although I get to do it periodically, which is a lot of fun for me.
Since I was a kid, I’ve been telling everyone about the rain forest and how it’s being destroyed.
I didn’t play video games because my parents didn’t allow it. That was banned from my childhood experience.
I spill water on myself all the time at nice restaurants. I’ve run into poles and knocked myself out.
When I was in elementary school, I used to write letters to myself. I’d write letters and go ‘Dear Kristen-at-16-years-old, happy birthday. I hope you’re doing something.’
