I competed in track for 10 years and have been doing kickboxing forever.

I've been working some really long hours for the last five or six years. Anybody who works on series television knows, and especially women because women spend probably two hours more than the guys with all their hair and makeup crap.

It's all about exploring the more unpredictable aspects in the character, not just fighting people.

I read every script from beginning to end, and I read every draft that I can. I like the show, I like the character, and I want to protect both of those things.

You show your vulnerability through relationships, and those feelings are your soft spot. You need to have a soft spot.

That's the thing with sci-fi and action roles. You have to play the danger as real. If you don't, you end up with egg on your face. You have to commit. You can't think about how stupid it might look without the special effects.
