Jamie Luner Quotes

I love playing the vamp, and I get sent out [to audition] for a lot of that stuff, maybe because I do it well.

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.

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.''
I don't do diets. They don't work. Being fit is about a whole way of life. If you move your body it will process what you put in it, even if it's cake. 'Everything in moderation' is a cliche, but some cliches really mean something. Only you know what goes in your mouth and how much you move your body when no one's watching. If you've got time to sit in front of the television, to go out to dinner with your friends, or to read a book, you've got time to work out and take care of yourself.
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.
I always find similarities with the character and myself. Of course, it's never exact but unless you can find similarities it is very hard to connect with what you are doing. But in this role in particular, I find to have the most similarities to who I am mainly because she's a real woman in the world out there.
Well, honestly when I started this role, there was no time to do much of anything but get my script, learn my lines, and show up to work. It happened that fast. But during the first few episodes I was able to talk to some FBI agents as well as the other cast members who have had many years to do research and every day I learn something new. So the research never stops
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.
(Speaking of, Jamie is loving her diva-to-diva action with friend Heather Locklear as their characters clash on-screen.) We get along great. She's totally silly like I am. And she's a producer this year, so when I have a problem with things, I go to her. But when she gets pissed at me, she says, 'Be careful, or I'll give you a really long speech that makes no sense.'
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...

The human body is a very beautiful thing and it should be exposed. You shouldn't be ashamed of it.
I missed life in the 1960s, so it has always been a dream of mine to live in a trailer and experience life on the road. A few years ago, I bought a 27-foot, 1978 Airstream from the Recycler in Atlanta. My boyfriend at the time and I shipped our belongings to Los Angeles, jammed everything else we could fit into overhead compartments on the Airstream, and drove. It was amazing because we had no schedules to keep and we could have a different front yard every morning - from the Grand Canyon to Bryce Canyon to the Redwood Forest. Now that I'm in Los Angeles, I found a beautiful spot in Malibu to park it. Whenever my schedule permits, I stay in my Airstream for the weekend. It's instant camping - a little piece of heaven.
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.'
Talking about her role on Profiler, as Agent Rachel Burke: 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 love camping. My boyfriend and I are avid campers. We've been all over the country. I love to camp under the stars with him. It's very romantic. You get very in tune with the natural environment - you know, the birds and the bees and all that. It gets me very calm inside, because this acting business can make me crazy. I need to take some time to myself when I'm not insecure and thinking about what this or that person is thinking about me. I can't live that way all the time. How can you not get self-conscious? So going out there and being at one with nature is my way of escaping from it all.
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.

I think it's only bonus. You've got people who are already tuned in and enjoy the show. My character is only going to enhance that, hopefully. My character has got a lot more levity: she's a little bit brassy. She comes from a family of six older brothers, so I imagine she can hold her own. - about her character Rachel on Profiler.
There's always pressure. But being thin should be the goal. The goal is should be being healthy and strong in mind, body, and spirit. That comes from having a healthy outlook on exercise and on life in general. I think that's been lost, because everyone wants the quick fix.
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, 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, 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.
