I never like to get political, but when you have the ability, through your media, to influence a large mass of people, I would want to be a part of the evolving cycle of progress vs. keeping things the way that they are.
Growing up, my dolls were doctors and on secret missions. I had Barbie Goes Rambo.
I love wearing men's clothing and underwear.
I was a ballet dancer for so long, but when I realized I had reached my limit and that I couldn't go any further I knew I wanted to pursue acting. That's one thing you don't use as a dancer - your voice. And the one thing I use most in my life is my voice so it's wonderful to get to express myself artistically through the biggest instrument I use.
I get along very well with animals and children. I dig them, I get them.
Call me crazy - I love elk meat!
It gets pretty boring when all you are is the support system for a male character.
I'm very accepting with my age. It's like notches on your belt: experience, wisdom, and a different kind of beauty. There comes a day when you've become comfortable in your skin.
There's nobody on this earth who can tell you that what you're feeling is wrong. They can tell you it's different to what they're feeling.
I don't like things like little sandals that look fragile. I like to look strong and commanding.
I want to be in the small percentage of women who don't settle for conventional roles.
I am fluent in Spanish and I understand French, Italian and Portuguese.
Before an actor can be this or be that, the actor must simply be.
I'm a very feminine person, but I have this hard shell, man, and I stay focused and don't take things personally.
