Jaimie Alexander

“I grew up with four brothers. I used to play sports with them. And I liked wearing their clothes. I'd run around in T-shirts, jeans, and baseball caps.”

“There was one time I wrestled two boys and I beat them both! They weighed a lot less than I did and I think they didn't want to hurt a girl, so I don't know if I really won - I'd like to think I did.”

“I'm pretty healthy, most of the time.”

“I find Los Angeles a bit desperate. For me, the energy there is bad.”

“I'll say this, I'm no stranger to working with a foreign cast, foreign directors, that sort of thing. I love it, because I think that when you have people from different countries, it sort of brings everyone together, it's more of a worldly film.”

“I occasionally wear Miss Dior perfume. It's quite elegant and feminine. It reminds me of a romantic evening out.”

“I have 9 tattoos of my own.”

“I'm a very physical person. I hug people more so than shake hands.”

“I will never be a waif. I want to market myself as a healthy-looking woman who is an action-star kind of girl.”

“A lot of women think being thin is the way to go, but I prefer to have some meat on my bones.”

“I'm not easily offended, and I have a certain toughness.”

“I like to remove my makeup with oil. Face wash tends to dry your skin out and strip your natural pH balance.”

“Turns out I'm good with guns even though I don't like them.”

“I think everybody can sort of relate to feeling like the outcast and feeling a bit lost and just craving somebody's attention.”

“I generally keep my diet pretty healthy, but if there's pizza, I'll eat it.”

“I like Oribe mousse; however I don't use too many hair products. I'm a huge fan of bandanas and hats.”
