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?"

If you're going to play strength, you've got to marry that with a vulnerability and give your character some relatable qualities.

Im a bit insane when it comes to doing my own stunts and getting down and dirty. Its fun, you know? Its things I wouldnt normally do in my real life, so when I go to work and get to beat people up and shoot guns and get waterboarded, those are things I find completely interesting.

People don't realize that I started in musical theater. That's where my roots are.

There's a little bit of me in all of the characters I've played. I've never really had the opportunity to play something that's a complete departure from me.

You don't want to go right, if everyone thinks you're going to go right. You go left, on purpose. Sometimes you can't explain why, and you can't explain what left looks like, but you just do it.

Some of the craziest people Ive met, in my life, are some of the most brilliant people Ive met.
