I was able to be distant by portraying another person, another character, if you will, and I found myself not stuttering and not having anxiety attacks when I was portraying another soul, another being, and I found comfort in that. I think many actors do, playing someone other than themselves.

I don't know how I did it, but I worked 7 days a week.

I like to do all kinds of films.

Sex, action, special effects, and violence sell.

I consider myself conscious of how we're treated, and sometimes I can be a feminist.

I was kind of a bouncy kid. I used to roller-skate into the sides of cars.

At the beginning, my ambition was never to break down doors. It was just to earn tuition for myself and work in an industry where women hadn't been allowed or invited. That's all I wanted to do, not thinking that I would make waves, change minds, excite people, incite people, turn on people, repulse people.
