I read YA novels constantly, so I really want to be in a young adult rom-com, but I worry that I'm aging into the parent role, which is a little scary.
-
Playing somebody who's still alive is very interesting.
-
I looked at my parents when I was 17, and I said, 'I'm moving to L.A.'
-
I think God's wrath and purgatory are the only things keeping me on the straight and narrow. I like the idea of purgatory. It's like a cosmic do-over.
-
I loved the challenge of being able to take a character who could be thrown away as 'crazy' and making her identifiable to the audience - also, to give her a vulnerability that people would cheer for.
-
Of course I love the action. I absolutely love doing action movies; it's what makes me tick, but I think my dream role is a movie that Will Smith's company has called 'Paper Wings.'
-
There's a joke that, if you can ride through Texas with somebody, which is 700 miles of just straight, flat freeway riding, then you can be friends with them forever.
-
I've always said that I'll know when I've gone too far because I won't be able to sit down and watch it with my father.
-
I think, as a woman in action in the business, you would be stupid not to express interest. Any female action role that presents itself as an opportunity I would throw myself at!
-
I'd love to play Wonder Woman.
-
As far as I'm concerned... there's a side to an actor that wants to go on and play a thousand different roles.
-
I've seen 'Absentia,' which was amazing. I loved 'Absentia.' I loved that for no money, he was able to make a movie about something that you never saw. You never saw the bad guys. That was amazing to me. You never saw what you were supposed to be afraid of; you just knew you were supposed to be afraid of it. It was a phenomenal movie.
-
I grew up in a small town where we played around on motorcycles and things, but it really started when I got old enough. I think I was obsessed with the culture of riding. I got sick of having to date guys who rode motorcycles for me to be on them.
-
The sad thing is, I never wanted to be Princess Leia - I always wanted to be Han Solo!
-
'Somnia' is a story about loss and, I guess, what you're willing to do to have closure and try and feel whole again. It's a story of redemption in a sense. I don't want to give too much away, but it's a heartbreaking story that's incredibly terrifying.
-
I'm a huge fan of Kate Beckinsale. Sigourney Weaver gets me excited. Angelina Jolie... There's just so many women that do 'tough' really well.
-
Science fiction fans are awesome - they love you so much that they'll watch anything you do, even if it's complete crap. I never dreamed that I would go to conventions and sit down and have coffee with a Klingon. It's so weird, but it's my life.
-
I love playing these characters that are crazy tough, though. Because I am not in real life. Not at all.
-
I think that probably the time that people stopped thinking of Starbuck as 'a woman' was when they stopped thinking of the old show.
-
I think every character I play has a physicality to them, so I have to stay in some sort of shape. I'll never be a size two. And I don't want to be a size two.
-
There's a darkness to Riddick that I think allows people to want him to do bad things because you know Riddick is going to do bad things: that's just the way it is. But I think that at his core, who he is and what he's fighting for is something that everybody can identify with.
-
I was planning that whole athletic slide into Stanford rather than actually getting a 1450 on my SATs.
-
As long as people want to see me do this action and sci-fi stuff, it would be wrong of me to deny the fans what they want to see.
-
I love that when you take that PG-13 off the table and say, 'This is what we're going to do,' everything becomes fair game, and you really go for it.
