The truly great person is the one who gives you a chance.
I grew up idolizing these men, like Arnold Schwarzenegger. I loved Sly (Stallone). I loved Bruce Willis. These guys embodied everything that action was in the 80s and 90s.
There's a little bit of me in all of the characters I've played. I've never really had the opportunity to play something that's a complete departure from me.
I find that in the science fiction world, you have almost more women fans than male fans and I think it's because there's been such a shortage of strong female characters.
The first movie my dad ever showed me was Predator - I was five. And I think the second one was Jaws. I've has this understanding of fiction for a very, very long time but I've also had this thing where I've idolized the male action heroes because that's what I watched with my dad.
I was such a huge Bruce Willis fan because of all the Die Hards and Arnold Schwarzenegger was like 'the guy. ' Kindergarten Cop was filmed in my home state and I was like, "He's awesome! Now he gets his hair cut next to me, it's fantastic. "
You're already using your imagination because you're watching fiction and then you're trying to believe that this girl who weighs 100 lbs, soaking wet, could actually beat up a guy. Which works in a lot of situations but in a lot of situations you look at it and you're like, "Come on. Could you please get someone in there who actually has biceps and not just because they don't eat?"
So live with an inferior as you would wish a superior to live with you.
If you hurt your knee, honestly, I'd rather have the federal government focused on North Korea, focused on other things than your knee, OK, or than your back, as important as your back is. I would much rather see the federal government focused on other things, bigger things.
I love being from a screwed up family. We have everything in my family: prescription drug abuse, mental illness, one of my uncles is a Mormon.
