I love children. I work with UNICEF and one of the reasons I love that is because they deal specifically with children. For me I think it's just really important to always embrace that side of you.
I've never really thought about competing with cartoons. If it ever gets to that point, then just shoot me.
Men, when they fight in movies, it's a very different style. Harrison Ford was so cool when he had the whip, and Bruce Lee was such an artist that you couldn't take your eyes off of him.
A lot of people die giving birth to their children who have AIDS and HIV and a lot of people don't survive after a time because they've been sick too.
Japanimation is a whole different art form.
You respect all of these people that you know in the business as actors. And they sort of turn around and say, we really like your work. It's a nice acknowledgment.
I've definitely become much more aware of physical stunts.
Silly Caucasian girl likes to play with Samurai swords.
When you work with chains or any kind of weapons, or just when you're using hand-to-hand combat, you are going to get hurt
If you see the Sopranos, you're not going to be speaking in the Shakespearean English.
Women like to watch women fight because it makes them feel sort of empowered physically and mentally. They feel kind of jazzed and excited by it.

When I was shooting a movie in Montreal, it was freezing. If you take a little bit of Aquaphor and dab it on your face, it keeps your skin looking fresh. I dubbed it Aqua For Everything.
It's great to do commercial movies; they are fun. You're doing stunts, you are running around, there is a lot of money involved in the production; there are incredible sets and designs.
People use location as a language in films, and Quentin uses action as a language in his films. There's really not a lot of violence. It's more of an emotional beat than it is a physical beat
The lack of predictability with television is something that's constantly changing what your perception of who you think your character is.
I think diversity is very key to anybody's resume, and also for your mental well-being.
I think it seems like a natural progression to go into directing, and I hope to explore more of it, because it's very exciting and a really good way to collide all the things that you've known and experienced in the business and put them all into one.
It's so much fun playing Ling, but I have this fear that people are going to run away from me in terror on the streets. They think I'm going to bite their heads off or something.
