I can certainly be my own worst critic and oftentimes forget to enjoy the here and now.

I'd rather play an ass-kicking destroyer or a super strong spy or agent than some meek, vulnerable character.

I handle emotional pain by trying to understand that it's going to be painful and to allow for it instead of fighting it. Doesn't make it any easier, though.

I think what I find challenging is just trying to bring a truthfulness and a realism to a character.

I have always been physically active. I grew up a tomboy and [was] into sports, so staying active is something that I enjoy. I get antsy and annoyed if I am sedentary too long. I mix up exercise - yoga, Pilates, hiking, running, and weights. I also eat well. I do not eat meat or poultry - have not since I was eighteen.

Work hard, play fair, be kind to all living creatures, and take a moment to just sit back and breathe.

I am inspired when I see goodness in other people. I am inspired by hard work and honesty. And I am inspired by nature.
