I had a daily 30 minute pushup routine. Then I boxed 3 times a week for about an hour. And then, I had the trainer come to my house an average of 1 to 2 times a week.
I wanted to be a marine biologist my whole life until I graduated high school. And even now, I'm still like, 'Maybe I'll just quit the biz and go to Santa Cruz and study marine biology and have my own research center in the Bahamas.' Yeah, I'm sure it would be just that smooth.
Joss Whedon is the best man on the planet.
I was on a strict diet to stay in shape for 'Jack Reacher,' but each day on set in New Orleans, catering dropped off delicious food at my trailer.
The real women who decide to enlist to work their way up in the ranks to become a Major in the United States Army are some freakin' tough broads.
I'm a big fan of a lot of graphic novels - 'Fables,' 'Y: The Last Man' and 'The Walking Dead,' which I like a lot more.
There are two kinds of people in crisis situations - those who fight and those who freeze. I'm a freezer, and that's just going by the couple of surprise birthday parties I've had thrown for me.
Canadians have an inherent good nature, and they are used to being made fun of.
I'm just looking for really good projects with varying characters - ones I haven't done before - so I can continue to grow as an actress.
I'm always looking for interesting stories, and I feel in independent film there's more opportunity.
I love macaroni and cheese. I could eat it every meal of the day.
I think it's really important to get in early and for women to do mammograms, to do screenings, to do all these things that aren't always necessarily covered by Medicare, by insurances, and to really start working to get those more available for people.
For some reason, when I think feminism, I think, like, 'Well, you can't include men if you're talking about feminism and being a feminist,' so I get a little bit muddled. I find it to be a bit grey. Then if you say you are not a feminist, that means that you're not pro-woman!
The Marvel world is a pure joy to be a part of.
When I got the script for 'Winter Soldier,' I was so excited to see that my character finally gets to punch somebody! So I took tae kwon do three times a week. I wanted to feel like I could hold my own in a roomful of superheroes.
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.
I remember taking a self-defence class when I was 16, and of course I don't remember any of it.
Self-defence helps with your confidence, and if you ever find yourself in that type of situation, you are more physically capable.
A stay-at-home mom is a working mom. Being a stay-at-home mom is a job.
I want to do a Tennessee Williams play.
