"One of the strangest moments was when I was in Seattle recording Ophelia and Gabriella for Blood 2. I did a series of screams and deaths until I was dripping wet with heat and lack of oxygen in the booth. I had to crawl out on my hands and knees and noticed a lot of drop-jawed expressions along with some frustration. I heard, 'Whoa! That was so impressive, now we will probably have to bring back the male talent to match your performance.' It felt good, and I do tout myself as the best expletive giver and coach around."Lani Minella

"Are you saying I did not do this part? Tsk tsk tsk. I did and had fun doing it! ... it was a long time ago but my fave line is still 'I've got chunks of people like you in my stool.'"Lani Minella
