I'm a poster child for feminism whether I like it or not, but I was resistant to the part of me that was a woman.

Humans sort of instinctively respond negatively to something that's not true.

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'm certainly not on a mission to be taken seriously as a dramatic actress, any more than I am just to be able to get roles that are exciting and satisfying to me. If that means action, then that means action.

When my physicality is involved, it's kind of my comfort zone, so I find it much easier to access emotions.

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'm completely at ease on a set. I'm pretty comfortable most places, but hitting the mark and knowing set etiquette and understanding cameras and lenses are second nature. It's a language I've spoken for years.
