Jamie Luner's quotes

  • You can sleep with a blonde, you can sleep with a brunette, but you'll never get any sleep with a redhead!
  • I love playing the vamp, and I get sent out [to audition] for a lot of that stuff, maybe because I do it well.
  • It was a lot easier to hide behind the character of the sassy, sexy vixen, whereas this time, I did a lot more tapping into my own feelings, and allowing that to come through.
  • When you're 22 or 23 you think the world revolves around you, and I felt that way for a long time. But I just turned 30, and I love it! You realize, "Whoa, baby, you ain't all that". And you're not! You're just a woman out there doing something she loves.
  • I'm getting to know myself. I focused this year on nothing but my craft. I've dealt with a lot of producers and executives, speaking up for what I need and what I want. I never did that before.
  • It's amazing the hours you pull when you're the lead of a show
  • When I tested for Lane, I was the straight girl; I had a nice little suit and jacket on. Then I went into the bathroom and let the hair down, put on a slinky dress, sauntered past all those girls in the waiting room, and said, "Okay. I'm ready".
  • Hiking is the best workout! . . . You can hike for three hours and not even realize you're working out. And hiking alone lets me have some time to myself.
  • It's very difficult to find the one thing I like the most, but I'd have to say the people, firstly; a truly talented group of people who are very warm.
  • Peyton was a lot of fun and I just went to work ready for anything. I loved it. I really had such a good time doing it.
  • Cooking is a huge passion of mine. In the future, I'd like to own my own restaurant.
  • When I appear on TV shows, I always have to borrow clothes. I'm always expected to look like Peyton, but that's just not me. I don't have mini skirts or little pointy bras. Although I do have plenty of sexy underwear in my wardrobe...
  • I've seen an episode or two of [Melrose Place (1992)]. It's . . . well, it's "Melrose Place". You don't bite the hand that feeds you.
  • The human body is a very beautiful thing and it should be exposed. You shouldn't be ashamed of it.
  • I love to look glamorous, but I couldn't possibly keep that up. Its too high-maintenance. I'm a wash-and-go kind of girl.
  • It's crazy! One minute you're working in a restaurant, and the next minute you're in a TV series with everyone asking how you feel playing the bad girl, and you're going, "Well, I know how to julienne carrots really well."
  • [about her role as Agent Rachel Burke on Profiler (1996))] It's a wonderful opportunity to play a character totally different from anything I've been seen in before.
  • I have always wanted to play Lola in "Damn Yankees" and every girl in "A Chorus Line". I was thinking of doing "Chorus Line" as a one-woman show. I'm going to play every character. I know every role. I can do it.
  • I've never worked harder in my life! Fifteen-hour days, going home and having four more hours of work studying lines for the next day. Always having to be on. I said to someone recently, "I feel like it is my wedding day every day."
  • I go camping with my boyfriend - having nothing other than ourselves and the birds to talk with is most relaxing.
  • I'd have to say my closest friends are guys. That goes back to my tomboy days. I like to throw a ball and be active and run around, you know. So I just find myself among the men.
  • Because it's prime time there's a rule that you can't really show anything. As for me personally, though, I'd only take my clothes off for a film if it made sense in the plot
  • I'm proud of being toned, strong and fit. Most women can't do one pull-up. I can do six!
  • When I turned 16, my mama was tired of being a stage mother taking me to auditions. She said, "If you get a car, you can take yourself".
  • On Melrose Place (1992), it was probably all the lying that was going on: sleeping with people I shouldn't have and not owning up to it. I did a lot of lying on that show.
  • On Savannah (1996), I would have to say it was sleeping with my sister's fiancé. Smuggling money, lying, cheating--that all comes second.
  • I'm adding a new character to the show, not stepping into her shoes. I don't ever compare myself to someone else: if other people have, that's their worry.
  • I don't know that I have one moment being the most touching.
  • My music taste is quite eclectic. It depends on my mood. But isn't that true for all of us?
  • Fame definitely has its effects. A lot is relative. You gain so much with fame, and in the same respect you give up quite a bit - the most precious being my anonymity, which I didn't realize until it was gone.
  • I worked with a director on the very first episode of Savannah (1996). His name was Richard Lang. He's been in this business for God knows how long and he recently passed away. He's an amazing man and touched me and taught me a lot.
  • I pride myself on being truly an individual.
  • I enjoy food of the orient. It's a lot of prep work and less actual cooking time. I love to feed people so I would imagine cooking someone's favorite dish would really make me happy.
  • Reactions that often give me chills, and bring me tears of joy. It's been received so warmly, and the smiles sent my way say it all. Everyone is very happy with this new season. I'm truly blessed.
  • When I was a little girl, I wanted to deliver babies. And then I wanted to be a dancer. And then, I have always wanted to act and then I became a chef and I really love singing.
  • Knowing me, they wanted to enhance the show with a little bit more humor, not have it be so heavy all the time.
  • I was playing Peyton, this really manipulative woman, on Savannah (1996), who is not exactly a role model--not someone I would want to be like - but everybody who watched loved her. It's kind of scary.
  • I think men are a different species from women entirely.
  • I have a lot more energy and I'm happier when I'm exercising.
  • I like to party, sure. But my kind of good time is not going to a nightclub or a bar that's just a meat market. I don't go to those kinds of places. I prefer to have a big camp fire at home and have all my friends round and share a big bottle of wine.
  • [The first R-rated movie that she saw] Porky's (1981). I went with my friends to a drive-in. It was shocking and stimulating. It was that time when you start to look at guys differently.
  • I'm going to make the role fully my own. Julie and Chuck hired me for who I am, not to emulate anyone else. I will make them proud.
  • Fear is a really wonderful thing for the soul. It's a rush. It makes me feel alive!
  • I certainly have a love triangle going on there with Thorsten Kaye [Zack] and Alicia Minshew (Kendall]. My character is a strong woman and she is using it.
  • Don't hit them too hard and too fast. You have to tease them, trickle them in. I think they're doing it right.
  • [About about her character Lexi on Melrose Place (1992), and if the producers asked her to come back] Of course I would--it was so much fun! She was just fiery. I think it'd be a blast!
  • What is it about ruby slippers? It's not only that they're sparkly. All little girls, and some little boys, like sparkly things, but it's more the fantasy. They can take you where you want to be.
  • Savannah (1996)] was great because I got to do the Southern accent. I love that Southern style. I have to say Peyton is my favorite role. I got to integrate the accent into my life during filming.
  • Michael is really funny, but Thorsten and Cameron Mathison are also hysterical. The boys of the show have a great sense of humor . . . and they're all great looking!
  • It happens to be a good niche for me. I do have a tendency to do those kind of characters, but in my last few movies I played a mom and a teacher. I like to do a lot of different roles, but I am the one they think of for the femme fatale roles.
