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.
I'm a very feminine person, but I have this hard shell, man, and I stay focused and don't take things personally.
I just want to be a part of great stories, whether I'm part of an amazing ensemble cast or I'm leading it or the antagonist or whatever.
I'm a girl from Queens. I've never gone, 'What am I doing today? Oh, I'm gonna grab a gun and learn how to use it.'
For the actor's wishes to be respected in terms of characteristics that your character's gonna have, you have to work with good and intelligent and talented stunt people that not only can carry weapons well but can also carry a personality.
I'm a sci-fi girl. If I can have anything in life, I'd want tons of great science-fiction movies and stories. It's so progressive, beautiful, and imaginative.
I'm so intrigued by women throughout history where the significance of what they were representing at that time is obscured by the fact a man saved them or they were prostitutes.
