"Concerning Jennifer and her work, I can say she is one of the most talented and easy to work with young actresses I have seen in a long time. She was always ready for her scenes, was able to take direction professionally and willing to take chances when necessary (Like having a speeding car coming directly towards her. Is she saved at the last minute or does she get hit, you will have to see the film when it comes out...As I said it was great working with Jennifer on the film and we also had a lot of fun." - Bad Blood co-director and stunt co-ordinator Lightning Bear on Jennifer (September 2003)
