Here are some excerpts from the magazine:

On sword-fighting in a Captain Morgan commercial: 

“Oh, it was crazy. I really like doing physical things — I’m a very athletic person — and there’s only been a few times in my career that I’ve been able to use that. We trained for a week. On set it was so hot, and we’re in these leather pants, and you’ve got all this sand — it’s the craziest feeling. We were so irritated by the elements that when we were fighting we were so mad. And it actually worked.”

On why she loves summer: 

“Well, summer is my favorite time of the year. It’s warm, everybody gets outside, girls wear a little less clothing, and there’s lots of concerts. Everybody’s just ready to have some fun.”

On her body: 

“For me, working out is the number-one thing. It just makes you feel so much better mentally. It’s not like you have to go overboard and train like an athlete. It’s just more about using your body so you feel good. And also — I don’t know, it’s kind of hard with guys and beauty products; I know you’re lucky if you just brush your teeth and use soap, so this might be going a little too far for some guys — but there are lotions out there that have self-tanner. It just makes you feel better any time you’re showing more skin.”
