I seek out things that terrify me, like an improv class. I'm terrified of sharks, but I scuba dive. I'm not good at auditioning, but I force myself to do it all the time. I've never met anybody who is fearless, but the more you push against your own boundaries, the easier it becomes to push.
-
My plan is to stay in New York for as long as I can and do some theater out here and just keep working creatively.
-
Just do your best. I find that if I set that goal for myself and no one else, I feel good.
-
I remember taking a self-defence class when I was 16, and of course I don't remember any of it.
-
I've worn stilettos since I was 12, so I have abused my feet to the point of no return.
-
What's more awkward than doing a shower scene? Rehearsing a shower scene.
-
Who isn't a fan of Tom Cruise? He has been in so many amazing movies.
-
I love working out.
-
The problem is my movie career is hindering my hockey schedule.
-
We're lucky to live in a country where we have freedom of speech, and I don't know what the other Avengers are up to, personally, but I know they're all really good people.
-
I know my body's limits. I've never enjoyed Spin classes, where they're like, 'Push it further!' I'm like, 'No. If I pull something, I can't work tomorrow.' That's why I gave up Bikram yoga.
-
I have a very flexible and easy schedule that affords me a wonderful lifestyle in Los Angeles. I'm able to be a very present mother, able to pursue other projects.
-
I saw 'Starbuck' before I ever knew I would be involved in 'Delivery Man,' but I liked it, and then a couple of months went by, and I really knew I wanted to audition for it when it became available.
-
One of the major complaints for long-running shows is that they become mundane.
-
I didn't really discover 'Risky Business' until later in life because I was so young when it came out.
-
I studied acting throughout high school, then modelling took over because it brought more opportunity. When I quit modelling, coming back to Vancouver, I registered at the University of Victoria.
-
I usually wear a lot of really thin gold bands and small studs. Nothing too big.
-
'The Avengers' happened because I'm friends with Joss Whedon, and he sort of brought me into the mix when they were looking for Maria Hill.
-
I went to a cleansing retreat in the desert where I didn't eat for eight days and experienced hunger-driven hallucinations.
-
I love having my husband at home. Especially when I have to leave the country so he can take care of our children.
-
I have so many single girlfriends who fit themselves into the mold of what they think a guy's looking for. But being comfortable around men is about being comfortable with yourself. They gravitate toward confidence. Really, that is what they want to be around.
-
I'm always looking for interesting stories, and I feel in independent film there's more opportunity.
-
I really like the character of Jack Reacher - I thought he was interesting.
-
I feel like starring in a TV show is such a fun thing.
