The biggest obstacle I've had to overcome is being a woman in a man's world.

On the basis of being a woman, by playing an alien, I avoid playing someone's girlfriend here on Earth because that's a bit of a canker sore.

For the actor's wishes to be respected in terms of characteristics that your character's gonna have, you have to work with good and intelligent and talented stunt people that not only can carry weapons well but can also carry a personality.

I'm learning the power of going away for the weekend and keeping myself company.

Trust me: Studios, investors, filmmakers, they will shift because they just follow the money trail.

I'm a kid from New York, so urban life reflected into art and music was around me and accessible and tangible.

If there's any relevant influence we may have with an investor, with a studio, with a director, with an actor, I think we have to fight.
