Jaimie Alexander

“I love Marvel. I'd be happy to do other projects with them at any time. They're a great company - I love all the guys and girls over there - they always are able to get a really fun cast for almost every project they have, which is often. And, of course, who doesn't want to be a superhero?”

“Never be ashamed of what or how you feel... just be honest.”

“I went through some training with a Navy SEAL. I had to learn how to submerge myself underwater and hold my breath, how to move without creating waves, and how to be very stealth.”

“I used to draw a lot.”

“I'm very interested in what makes people tick; people are so weird and complicated.”

“I think that when people look at me, and they look at my height and my voice and my coloring, they automatically think, 'Tough.'”

“Marvel, I think, on purpose, they don't tell me certain things. Because they know I'll be like, 'So here's what's gonna happen.' But I do know I will be in 'Thor 3' and that Sif will have a very pivotal part in that movie.”

“The tattoo on my wrist has the letters 'ES,' which stands for 'elephant shoe.' It's something I used to say when I was younger instead of 'I love you' and it reminds me to remain childlike at times and to not take myself too seriously.”

“I'm probably one of the worst actors as far as preparation goes, because I actually don't prepare. I find it easier to read the script and whatever hits me in my stomach, like deep down, I just go with it. And the director kind of molds me whether to go right or left with it.”

“I don't ever wear makeup to the gym, but if I'm coming from work, I might have eyeliner on.”

“Not to sound too hippie, but I work so much off of energy. I'm a Pisces, and that's part of who I am.”

“Just for fun, I'm really goofy and I would love to do some stupid comedy. I'm talking, like, crazy, out there, Will Ferrell type of thing. I love it; I think those movies are so funny.”

“I was cast in 'Thor' back in 2009, so it sort of took me out of the running for anything tied to DC Comics.”

“Chris Farley, I was a huge fan of his growing up. I would love to do something kind of slapstick and funny, maybe where I could change my look even a little bit.”

“I pretty much eat all day to keep my strength up. I'm primarily a vegetarian who has an occasional side of fish.”

“Any time I am nervous, I do a couple of yoga breaths, and I am fine.”

“When I was training, I trained with my younger brother Brady. I would wrestle some of my friends, who I had grown up with, which showed me some moves, but it was never a full on match. When I went to competitions, there were other girls, so I always wrestled girls.”

“I actually read 'Wonder Woman,' and here's the thing about her: she's more of a physical presence than anything else. You don't get to really know her on the inside.”

“I'm a huge comic book fan, and I've read a lot from all different comic book outlets.”

“Luckily, on 'Kyle XY,' I had great training in being tough and vulnerable at the same time.”
