I think I've paid my dues. I've really put in a lot of time on set.
When I was in university, my dream was to be a coach, like a high school track coach. Not to teach.
Cast changes are a hard thing. For two years, we had this little family. We weren't together when these changes were decided upon. It all happened during our hiatus.
It's all about exploring the more unpredictable aspects in the character, not just fighting people.
Women can't be afraid to look like action heroes. It's not always pretty, but when it's on the screen, it translates well to the audience.
You show your vulnerability through relationships, and those feelings are your soft spot. You need to have a soft spot.
When you're fighting with a stunt person, your intent is to miss.
We don't move on in the stunt unless it looks like a hit. So when I see it on TV, I'm generally satisfied that people are going to buy it.
There are a lot of other things in this world that can and will bring me joy. Acting is one of them.
The most important thing is to just be good at what you do. You do a good job playing the character, and people will be taken up with your character, not your clothes.
That's the thing with sci-fi and action roles. You have to play the danger as real. If you don't, you end up with egg on your face. You have to commit. You can't think about how stupid it might look without the special effects.
People get on a show and they fought tooth and nail. Almost 95% of the actors out there want to be on a television series. Then as soon as they get onto one, no, no, I want to be a movie star. This television series stuff, no, no no.
My first paying job, when I was 15, I was a day camp counselor.
Most women don't play like guys do: they don't wrestle, fight, get into brawls. They don't know how to express themselves in a physical, active way.
It's part of the job to compensate for outfit.
