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

I think I was obsessed with the culture of riding. I got sick of having to date guys who rode motorcycles for me to be on them.

I don't take myself that seriously, I'm taking the piss out of myself. I can't really beat up guys, it's fun!

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?"

My mom has always said that you don't know what love is until you've had a child.

I grew up idolizing these men, like Arnold Schwarzenegger. I loved Sly (Stallone). I loved Bruce Willis. These guys embodied everything that action was in the 80s and 90s.

I find that in the science fiction world, you have almost more women fans than male fans and I think it's because there's been such a shortage of strong female characters.
