Poppy Montgomery quotes:

Women are supposed to want to settle down and have a family. That's not for me.

Exercise makes me a better parent. I'm calmer and happier.

Maybe I'm secretly in my soul a method actor.

I have spent too long training myself to speak with an American accent, it's ingrained. I spend 16 hours a day on set speaking with an American accent. Now, when I try to speak with an Aussie accent, I just sound like a caricature of myself.

I love men - everything about them: the way they look, the way they smell, the way they feel. I love their minds.

I'm outspoken and I'm headstrong.

I should have been a stuntwoman.

I talk about being Australian a lot.

I got expelled from every school I went to in Sydney.

I was a redhead when I first came to America.

I was never tomboyish. I loved Barbies. It's just the way I grew up.

When you spend seven years with a group of people and suddenly you're not together, it's very jarring.

Hollywood's full of transients. Everybody comes from somewhere else.

I never know why shows succeed or don't succeed, which is why I look at it as, 'I'll do the best work that I can', and if the fans and people respond then I'm always really flattered and honored, and if they don't then I'll try and do something next time that they like better. But I have no idea what makes a hit show, I really don't.

Every rule should be broken at least one time.

I always try to make things fun.

I'm the girliest girl you'll ever meet.
