My dad is a director/producer and my mom is a dancer; she performed with Alvin Ailey, but I didn't even think about becoming an actress.

Good storytelling appeals to me - good writing.

I really prefer the actual experience of being onstage and living the character from beginning to end with the energy of the audience. There's nothing that beats that feeling, and yet I really have trouble with the eight shows a week.

I look forward to going to work. Everybody is at the top of their game. It was like we just got to play.

I didn't get to see Predator until halfway through shooting. It was great to get an education while I was shooting because it made me excited to be part of this legacy.

To make a movie is very grueling at times. Long, long hours and cold weather.

Being strong can be also feminine. I don't think feminine equals being weak. Being strong is very sexy.
