Quotes by Marisa Miller
I'm from Santa Cruz in Northern California, and the 49ers were my dad and I's bonding time. We would go to games in the '80s. It was a good time to fall in love with football when your team was unstoppable.
For acting, if there’s a strong female role and there is that action element, for me that just feels really natural.
I’m very shy. I know it’s weird for a person who models lingerie and swimsuits, but I don’t like to be the center of attention!
I have to have music playing constantly. It creates the tone and mood for anything you are doing. I specifically love rock, and Jimi Hendrix is one of my favorite artists. My favorite song is ‘Red House,’ because it’s heavy on the blues.
If I’m going to have something rich and yummy, I’m not reaching for prepackaged brownies. I’m going to make a pie from scratch.
I can pick up any sport pretty quickly – believe me, I know how to throw a football.
