Sarah is very strong. She's really intelligent and she's very physically capable. I like to put that into my own life as well.
Most of the film directors expect their actors to want to work fast.
I remember being at Greenblatt's on Sunset, and some guy just walked straight up to me, and he had some bling on and whatever, and said something about a party down in Malibu and asked if I would jump in his car and go to the party. All I could think was, 'Who are you? I don't know you, and I don't care about how good your car is.'
I think a man is a man, and a man has a hairy chest, so let that be!
I've always been a very outdoors sort of girl. I'm more a tomboy than a girly girl.
I don't want to be the funny girl or the serious girl. I would hope to touch on all different genres and all different types of characters, which I think I've been lucky enough to do, so far.
I love watching a good, freaky horror movie. I love it. It's one of my favorite things to do, to go and see at the cinema. Just to tune out and be freaked out.
I feel lucky that I got to work with some of the big legends in town.
I have a strong dance background. I danced from age five until 18, and that helps a lot. Doing a fight routine is like doing a dance routine.
Whether it is television or film, the character on the page has to speak to me.
I don't know if this classifies as a video game, but I have a terrible obsession with Angry Birds.
I loved school, I loved putting on my uniform and doing homework every day. I was one of those good students that the teachers liked. I guess that's got to be a pretty nerdy, geeky part of me.
