All of a sudden I got a call the night of the first time we were filming and they're like, "Terry, we made a mistake. We need you to be you. You're not a joke with these guys and you're not mousy, you're very aggressive. Now it just so happens that you're going through these things, but we need you to be more physical in your role."

When you have writers who recognize they're making a wrong turn and correct it, I knew I was in good hands.

I'm actually a perpetual 13-year-old. I've never advanced beyond 13. Every day, tomorrow is my 14th birthday. That's my kind of humor.

I consider myself a feminist. My whole life has been about standing up for women, for anybody really, who's been abused.

I was always more of a film guy than an athlete guy. I had an art scholarship at Western.

A football team is like a society, straight up. There are rapists, but there are creatures and there are film guys.

I was a sports nut. I stayed after school probably three hours every day - from fall, to winter, to spring. I went from football to basketball to track and it started all over again. I loved all of it. I just loved being an athlete and all that it entailed. It really accounts for who I am.
