I am tired of women playing action heroes like men, because they are not men. But sometimes they are written like men.

Normally, when I read a script, it takes me two and a half hours. I usually put it down and come back to it. So, I know if I can read a script in one sitting, it's a fantastic script.

When you take on a TV show, you give trust to people that you really just met.

I think I saw "Predator" when I was six. So I knew from a very young age that it wasn't real, but I just loved it.

You're already using your imagination because you're watching fiction and then you're trying to believe that this girl who weighs 100 lbs, soaking wet, could actually beat up a guy. Which works in a lot of situations but in a lot of situations you look at it and you're like, "Come on. Could you please get someone in there who actually has biceps and not just because they don't eat?"

I have to remind myself constantly to not be antisocial, because I stay to myself a lot. Im a lot more introspective than my characters.

This business is hard. People and producers and studios and finance guys get caught up in saying, "Women don't sell movies," or "This person doesn't sell foreign," or "You have to attach guys first," or "People don't want to see women do this." I've heard those things so many times that I've actually heard myself say them, a number of times.
