“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.”

“I can't say that I've made the transition to movies.”

“When you're fighting with a stunt person, your intent is to miss.”

“There are a lot of great actresses out there. You learn to appreciate each one for what they offer.”

“I think I've paid my dues. I've really put in a lot of time on set.”

“It's part of the job to compensate for outfit.”

“I competed in track for 10 years and have been doing kickboxing forever.”

“Most women don't play like guys do: they don't wrestle, fight, get into brawls. They don't know how to express themselves in a physical, active way.”

“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.”

“I would be very happy doing movies. I love to work and I think I'm a little different.”

“Acting isn't the be-all end-all. There are a lot of other things in my life that will bring me joy if I didn't act anymore.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I came to acting in a very circuitous way.”
