Holly Valance

Holly (about Neighbours cast): The Neighbours cast is like a second family.

Holly: I never kill insects. If I see ants or spiders in the room, I pick them up and take them outside. Karma is everything.

Holly (about her future aims): I just don't want to be 35 years old and still popping out songs in miniskirts and la-la-la.

Holly (on training for DOA): For four months before filming started we were training six hours a day, every day. Then, towards the end, twice a day. It was kung-fu, weight training and volleyball. It was full-on. The first month, I thought I was going to die. But we were training where all these seven-year-old future Olympians were backflipping over us. It was like, "We're whingeing about doing the splits when this is going on?" It put things into perspective.

Holly (on the LA party lifestyle): I'm so boring. If I'm hung over or tired I find that really unprofessional. Not that I'm saying Paris [Hilton] is, but I can't do my best if I'm not rested.

Holly (on appearing in Prison Break): I just spent three weeks out in Dallas doing another two episodes for season two. Hopefully I'll be doing some more as well. It was a total boy-club until I came in. I was like: 'Talk to me! Come on!' They're all sort of macho. It's all prison stuff and testosterone, but they're sweethearts and I had a lot of fun.

Holly (on meeting Paris Hilton): She's a crazy chick. She was quiet and shy on set, but put her in a nightclub and she's in her element. She's young and having fun. I got to hang out with her a couple of times and she was lovely.

Holly (on fighting topless in DOA): I fight topless for about seven seconds, so I wasn' really "umming and ahhing" over it. I thought it was wicked.

Holly (on the script for DOA): When I read the script I was so excited. I thought, 'Oh, this is going to be fun! Kids are going to love it!' And I love martial arts, so I was pretty excited to go into heavy training.
