About Ashley...

Jessica Alba said about Ashley:

AGW: You and co-star Ashley Scott have both been superheroes. Who would win in a smackdown between the two of you?

Jessica: [laughing] Oh, I wouldn't compare Ashley and I. I've had a lot more training than she has. But she is awesome. She did 'Birds of Prey' and she did 'Dark Angel.' I really appreciated, as a woman, first of all, having another girl there to be girlie with because we were the only girls there with all boys. The crew was also all boys. Also, she's just really comfortable with her body and so that's another thing that helped me. She would throw a bikini on and walk around. Meanwhile, every time the camera shut off I was covering myself in a towel and hating my life and calling my mom and going, 'I can't do this. I hate this movie.'

ABOUT HER WORK

"I absolutely feel as long as I know that I went in there and did the best job I could and respected and honored the character I was gifted with, I can walk away feeling fulfilled and very happy about the experience."

ABOUT HER DISLEXYA

"I’ve always been a good kid. I was raised incredibly well, I’m a loving person but when I was younger I gave [rebellion] a good go. I was very active but I was dyslexic and had a really hard time at school. You have some anger from that. I think a lot of my rebellion came from being angry from the get-go. I’m so thankful that nowadays there are ways to detect it early."

"I have a hard time retaining the lines. Even on set I make mistakes but I’m okay with that. Writing is weird. I have trouble with print so I write cursive and in my mind that writes properly. I’ll read a paragraph and go off but I’ll read it again. I try to get my scripts a week earlier and work three times harder. But I make it. Other actors flub their lines too."

OTHER....

"My family is very tall, gangly and skinny. But you can be flabby skinny, so it's good to always keep up, to do some sort of exercises. I walk at night with my sister-in-law, which has been amazing. It really does something for you. It kind of clears the mind, makes you feel better. Things start to thighten a little bit."

"I douse myself with oil and sit there. So I better make tons of money, and doctors better figure out a way to pull it all up later."

"My ex-boyfriend, Ashton Kutcher took a piece of thread and made a trail over the house -up the stairs, in and out rooms, everywhere. It led out to the tennis court, where a sewing machine was tied to the end."

"In high school I took a trip with a friend named James, who didn't know I has a crush on him for years. I decided than we were on the plane, I was going to tell him. On the plane we both had to go to the bathroom. I went first, but he was waiting outside the door. We hit turbulence and the door flung open while I was going, and he saw everything. After that I told him how I felt becouse I figured i couldn't feel any more humilliated than I already was."

"My mom used to say, "Don't bring you bad mood in the house. take your bad mood coat off and put it outside the door and come inside. if you want to put it back on when you leave, taht's fine." I used to hang my coat a lot."

"I have my own great relationship with God. I may not be at the end of my bed praying every night, but he hears from me at least five, six, times a day. I might be hollerin' at him, but I'm still talking to him. God's got a great sense of humor."

"i just wear Johnson & johnson Baby lotion. I love it, it's my favoutrite. i've using it everyday since I was a little girl. i'm pretty simple when it comes at all."

"I love to be pampered. Everybody deserves a good rubdown every once in a while. I love getting massages."

"If there's something in your life that you want change, change it. Quit complainig. It makes your life miserable; it makes everyone else's life miserable around you. That's the way I live. it makes me a happy person."

"I like pretty, but no t too feminine. I don't like gaudy, I don't do lace. I don't do ruffles. I like to go rocker sometimes, or really hippied out. I have a wide range."

"I'm not a workout girl. In my family, we are all skinny. But superheroes aren't twiggy -- they've gotta have a little meat on their bones. So I've got a personal trainer and I've been eating like crazy just trying to gain weight."
