I'm a fast learner.

I am very, very painfully human.

I grew up on an island without TV.

I'm a very coordinated individual.

I love the 'Lethal Weapon' movies.

No one has ever seen me as feminine.

Don't be afraid girls. Power's awesome!

I think I want to produce action movies.

I don't like hitting people in the face.

It never occurred to me that I'm intimidating.

I never was fanatical about films when I was younger.

When you're falling through space time has no meaning.

I don't surround myself with a lower quality of human.

People are far more protective [of women] instinctively.

If you can fight in high heels, you can walk in high heels.

I know this sounds ridiculous, but I'm not much of a fighter.

I definitely don't feel like I'm watching ballet during 'Raze.'

As a stunt girl I've done most varieties of female fight action.

It turns out I do okay just playing an angry self-righteous woman.

As a performer, the more I scare the stunt coordinator, the better.

With acting, it's my job to be emotionally vulnerable and accessible.

I would find it more difficult if somebody else was doing the action.

My becoming an actor was a massive shift for me, and a terrifying one.

I think I have a pretty decent business savvy, when I give myself room to.

I had done maybe three lines of dialogue, ever, before doing 'Death Proof.'

I used to be afraid of my temper, but it turns out I don't really have one.

Humans sort of instinctively respond negatively to something that's not true.

If you're going to fight Tom Cruise, you really don't want to make that man bleed.

If you give anything less than 120% as an actor then you end up looking uncomfortable.

It's not until after you've been hit by a car and landed all right that the fear kicks in.

For all the hundreds of scripts that are out there, there's not that many that are amazing.

This may sound conceited, but the more predominant the role, the more comfortable I am on set.

Favorites' questions are my least liked questions because I've never been any good at favorites.

I would love to do a comedy, and I think physical comedy is something I probably have a knack on.

Gore, like blood and guts and stuff, I am fine. Suspense, I get super sensitive. I can't handle it.

I love acting. And if there's a niche that needs filling, I'm happy to get in there and try to fill it.

I like the debate, but I don't really like the fight. I don't like being in the ring. I'm not competitive.

When my physicality is involved, it's kind of my comfort zone, so I find it much easier to access emotions.

Whatever my job description consists of, becomes my job. Maybe it's just the way I tackle work, in general.

I'm a poster child for feminism whether I like it or not, but I was resistant to the part of me that was a woman.

Well, I did two lines on a TV show called 'Cleopatra 2525' really badly with an American accent; it was terrible!

As a stuntwoman, I never wanted anyone to ever feel afraid for me. I didn't want anyone to ever feel sorry for me.

Feeling fear is a good sign that your survival instincts are intact. You need to appreciate the dangers to stay safe.

For a stunt woman, emotions don't matter to the shot. It was easier for me to do my job if I shut all my emotions off.

I've worked with horses on and off most of my life, but literally 'on and off' - flipping on them and falling off them.

I stepped away from stunts and into acting right around when stunt people started getting put into motion-capture stuff.

I'm not immune to a lack of confidence or the recognition that I haven't asked for what I deserve or stated what I want.

I've always appreciated great acting performances, but I've even learned to appreciate not so great ones 'cause it's hard.

When I'm not focused, I'm quite possibly one of the more clumsy people on the planet. I'll walk into doorways and coffee tables.

I really love being a part of the creative process. I love having an opinion that gets heard, and then it's all up for discussion.
