I'm not looking at an action movie as something where I just jump around and look beautiful and show my muscles. Since there are so few people that do this and have that pedigree, people disregard their contribution.
A lot of the cats I grew up with in the South Bronx found themselves in sticky situations.
The first time I jumped from a plane, I screamed like a woman. I was two miles up and you could hear me clear as day. Now I love it.
I've been trying to keep the private life private. Not being savvy or trained on how to do good interviews like a politician, I thought it was wiser to follow my mother's advice: If you have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all.
I come out of repertory theatre so I've been working under pressure my whole career.
I didn't go into this business to do action because I'm a classically trained actor. But I'm good at kicking and punching.
