My brother is a comic-book writer, and I was always in love with comics.

I wanted people who are though of for their acting and not their gymnastic abilities or their muscles.

It looks better when you do your own stunts, because seeing somebody's face when they're doing them is fun for the audience.

I want a guy I can go hiking with, who wants to do outdoorsy stuff. It's so much fun to be out in nature and who better to do that with than the person you're dating?

The hardest thing as an actor is that you work really hard constantly for these roles, and you invest so much in it. And when they don't come to fruition and nobody sees them, there's a part of you that dies a little bit. It's like, 'Ah! But I worked so hard!' But that's the business.

I'm very tall, so I like a guy who's bigger than me - it makes me feel feminine and safe. I don't like to be hovering over a guy or feel like a linebacker.

The energy of live theater is indescribable. You are just in the moment for an hour and a half.
