Dina Meyer

Dina Meyer: (about not getting to met Sean Connery while making "Dragonheart") He was playing golf in the Bahamas and doing his lines from a sound stage while we were freezing our asses off in Slovakia. I was reacting to Rob Cohen doing his best impression of Sean Connery playing a dragon.

Dina Meyer: I've always wanted to be in the entertainment industry. Initially I wanted to sing and dance on Broadway. I'd rather sing and dance than blow people up. Underneath all this macho exterior, I'm quite the soft girl!

Dina Meyer: When you're making the movie, you really have no idea what the end result is going to be. On my first day on the set, I saw all this carnage, all these amputated bodies lying around the set, and you just walk on by and get your scene done. But when I saw the actual movie on the big screen, I was overwhelmed - it just blew me away. But my feeling about Starship Troopers is that it's a deliberately cartoonish movie. It's a video game with a very big budget, and I don't think it really would have much of an effect on your average teenager.

Dina Meyer: (about doing a nude shower scene in "Starship Troopers") I don't know... it's kinda difficult to disrobe in front of mixed company.

Dina Meyer: (After being asked if she minded continually playing parts in genre entertainment.) You know, no matter that I try to get away, they keep coming back for me. I don't know. I don't mind. If the character is fun to play, and I'm working with good people, I don't really care what genre it is. I don't care if it's drama. I don't care if it's comedy. I just want to be in good company, and I want to grow and have a good time.

Dina Meyer: (about playing Barbara Gordon on the short lived sci-fi show ''Birds Of Prey'') She's in a wheelchair, and she's smart. She's a genius. She's the glue. She's the backbone of the Birds of Prey. She runs everything. She keeps everybody on track. She was Batgirl, a wonderful superhero, and ... she has this horrible disability. But she grew from it. She got strong from it. She found her calling from it. Initially ... she was running in Batman's shoes. And it took her getting shot and paralyzed and being confined to a wheelchair to find out who she really was and in a sense becoming a better person than she ever could have been had she not fought these villains. So I think that's really, really wonderful. She could have thrown in the towel. She could have said, 'You know what? The hell with it all. I don't have legs. I can't kick ass. I'm done.' And she didn't. She said, 'You know what? I'm going to find out who I really am and do what I got to do and be even bigger and better than I was.' It's the new and improved Barbara Gordon. And I salute her. I think she's fabulous. And I feel honored to be playing her.
