My job has always been to not only make my character look like a badass but to also make the actor I am fighting opposite to be the character they need to be too.

I like the debate, but I don't really like the fight. I don't like being in the ring. I'm not competitive.

Whatever my job description consists of, becomes my job. Maybe it's just the way I tackle work, in general.

I had to paint the picture that I was never scared, otherwise I couldn't do my job. But now, as an actor, I'm literally paid to look emotionally accessible.

What really sells a fight, and any kind of action, is the performance of it. If someone is uncomfortable or uncertain about doing action because they're too concerned about their safety or about being right, it pulls them out of being that character, in that situation.

A couple years in [to acting], I recognized that I developed methods from being a stuntwoman for so long that worked for me that I wasn't aware of. And I had to become aware of them, because I didn't recognize that I could actually apply them across the board.

I love acting. And if there's a niche that needs filling, I'm happy to get in there and try to fill it.
