Azura: My parents wanted me to go out and play and read a book instead of being glued to a TV.
Azura: (on Amsterdam) I found the design very well laid out and easy to follow. And then I started partying and I ended up walking in circles.
Azura: I was lucky to have really creative, artistic parents. They very much believed in education through art.
Azura: It was fun, being the f***ed-up girl. But after while, it started affecting me. I started feeling really dark. When I look in the mirror now, I see the girl from my seventh-grade picture staring back at me.
Azura: I love auditions. I don't mind them at all. I have a lot of fun. I mean, it's hard and I've been very fortunate in the opportunities that I've had but I worry about getting work if it's been a couple of months and I haven't gotten a job. It's hard waiting and thinking about what you're going to do next but that passes.
Azura: I have been at it [showbiz] for a long time, but it can be a very discouraging business and I think you have to have a certain amount of ego because there is so much rejection. You have to believe in yourself sooo much. This way when you get rejected time after time you're able to say, "I'm really good and someone will see it!" I've just been patient and you have to know that whatever is meant to be will be. But, good things have come to me.
Azura: In eighth grade, everyone was getting boobs and I wasn't. I was really bummed, but a few years later when I realized it wasn't going to happen, I got used to it. Now I'm really secure with myself.
Azura: After 28 Days, whenever they needed a troubled character they called me.
Azura: (Regarding her favorite scene in the film, Carolina) I have a fabulous birthing scene where Shirley MacLaine shoves a dog biscuit in my mouth to bite on. I look horrible — I'm sweating and my hair is stringy, but for some reason, it's my favorite shot. I get such a kick out of it.
Azura: I'm the most normal boring person I know!
Azura has a knack for playing dead apparently. At least three of the characters that Skye has portrayed have deceased, her character China on Touched by an Angel is fatally beaten, Andrea in 28 Days dies of a drug overdose and Cassie on Buffy the Vampire Slayer dies of a heart condition.
Her father has built models for movies such as Tomorrow Never Dies and Titanic.
While shooting Bandits in Portland, Oregon, Skye buddied up to Billy Bob Thornton, she even gave him a personalized coffee mug.
"Azura" is derived from "azure", a shade of blue. Thus her name can be interpreted as "Blue Sky".
Azura's biggest vice is eating chocolate every day.
Azura Skye was born in her grandmother's home in Northridge, California.
Azura starred in the movie Carolina.
Azura's parents were gemologists and named Azura for the semi-precious gem.
Azura's first roles in TV were two guest positions in the CBS TV shows Touched By An Angel and Chicago Hope.
Azura starred in the movies 28 Days and Bandits.
Azura was only supposed to play the character, "Cassie Newton", in a single episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" but she reprised the role later the same season when Amber Benson declined to return as the ghost of her slain character, Tara Maclay, and the script was rewritten so that Cassie's ghost appears instead
