(on the feeling of been a cheerleader) Minka Kelly: When we were out on the field and all those people were in the stands, it was the most surreal.. I.. I walked down into the field and I saw the people and I stop and I just had to stared at them for a few. Because I've never cheered so I've never been on a field for that. I've been in the stands to see it on the field but I had never been on the field and looked up at the fans and it really is such a surreal feeling and.. and that's why I say I say, I mean I missed that on so much not cheering on high school because it's such an amazing feeling.
(on football) Minka Kelly: When I went to high school in Albuquerque, there weren’t many sports in my life. My mom and step dad weren’t into sports at all. I was very sheltered from all that. I didn’t grow up going to football games and I didn’t know any football teams. Now I’m a huge fan. I love football. Whenever I’m surfing channels, now that I do understand it, I have that attraction watching. It’s a lot of fun for me now. I get another chance with that, too.
(on her first acting role on "
(on her first acting class) Minka Kelly: The first acting class was very therapeutic. It’s a safe place to really express anything that you have in your imagination that you would want to express. When I grew up, it was hard to find something or someone that would allow me to express or release so many emotions. Going through acting classes lets you look at yourself and dig deep and come in touch with all your feelings and your emotions.
(on her relation with her father) Minka Kelly: I wanted to know who he was. He was in L.A. and he came out to New Mexico. When I was ready to get out of Albuquerque (after high school), he gave me an option to stay with him. I moved out to L.A. and stayed with him. He became my best friend. He’s taught me so much.
