Cast changes are a hard thing. For two years, we had this little family. We weren't together when these changes were decided upon. It all happened during our hiatus. |
My first paying job, when I was 15, I was a day camp counselor. |
We don't move on in the stunt unless it looks like a hit. So when I see it on TV, I'm generally satisfied that people are going to buy it. |
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. |
I competed in track for 10 years and have been doing kickboxing forever. |
People get on a show and they fought tooth and nail. Almost 95% of the actors out there want to be on a television series. Then as soon as they get onto one, no, no, I want to be a movie star. This television series stuff, no, no no. |
Women can't be afraid to look like action heroes. It's not always pretty, but when it's on the screen, it translates well to the audience. |
In the beginning, people think vulnerability will make you weak, but it does the opposite. It shows you're strong enough to care. |
Linda Hamilton is my hero. She was so tough and so strong and so vulnerable at the same time. I think that's what woman action figures are allowed to be: vulnerable, in a way that women are. |
There are a lot of other things in this world that can and will bring me joy. Acting is one of them. |
I think I've paid my dues. I've really put in a lot of time on set. |
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. |
I did a lot of stunts, so the harness work isn't foreign to me either. |
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. |
I can't say that I've made the transition to movies. |
