to the final Super Match round.
Before the
2001 NFL season began, in a survey of 70 celebrities
who had nothing to do with football conducted by "The
Sporting News," she correctly predicted that the
New England Patriots would eventually beat the St. Louis
Rams in the season-ending Super Bowl by the score of
20 to 17. This amazing prediction was made despite the
fact that vast majority of "football experts"
didn't think the Patriots would even make the playoffs
much less get to the Super Bowl. She's the only person
to have ever correctly predicted the participants in,
winner, and final score of a Super Bowl before a season
begun in a published article in a major sports periodical
or book.

Personal quotes
"This huge life-changing moment of going from zero
to ninety in two seconds!"
"People
were showing you how to throw up. You are taking diet
pills. Everyone is partying, so you start drinking a
lot, and drugs. A couple of years messed me up for a
while."
"He`s
boring. He`s not interesting because he`s so normal.
He calls when he says he`s going to call, shows up when
he`s supposed to."
"They
say it`s realistic, but they wouldn`t do 90% of the
stuff we do. They spend most of their time in court
and not hanging from the bottom of helicopters, ha ha;
but they do say we put forward a very realistic portrayal
other than that."
"My
husband and I were sitting at our dining room table
looking at a stack of bills trying to work out a way
we could pay them. We`d already borrowed money and i
was thinking we`d have to borrow more. I`d been working
two jobs and my husband had taken on another while I
did acting classes. I got the call and my agent said,
"You`re not supposed to know this yet, but you`we
got the part..." I started crying and we went out
and brought the cheapest bottle of champange we could
fine."
"He`s
boring. I`m a firm believer in doing things that scare
you. I love to go bungee jumping, jump out of planes,
ride motorbikes, do kickboxing. I love all that stuff."
"It
was strange, because I was showing my butt all day and
all these guys (on the set) were hitting on me. It was
like, "you`re showing your butt on camera, why
don`t you show me?", and they were so sleazy and
gross..."
