"Everyone has their own insecurities, regardless of how you look or how people perceive you, but sometimes people give their insecurities too much power." Aoki told Tarts in an exclusive interview, via Fox News. "Defining beauty is simply a matter of opinion. For me, real beauty has very little to do with the structure of someone's face or body."

For her role in the Mutant Chronicles, Devon did a lot of arm work. "I had to pump my arms up quite a bit. They were a little on the weak side when we started and by the end of filming, I was pretty rock solid," she told Tarts. "The funny thing was most the boys got dummy guns that weigh very little, and I got the real McCoy! I was running around with a 30-pound gun under my arm for the entire film. That might have been their way of telling me I needed some muscles!”
