You don't have to be just the sex kitten. You can be a sexy, feminine woman, but also have a strong voice and be a warrior, at the same time.
If you understand your character and feel like it's a collaborative process, you're more inclined to dive into the deep end and fight for your character and feel passionate about your character, and that passion comes across on screen.
I think every woman character, every female character, has her own arc.
I love not being in a comfortable state, anyway. That makes for much more interesting storylines and an interesting story.
I've always approached acting from a passion point of view. It's what I love to do. The fact that we get paid is just a bonus.
I'm a 3rd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and 2nd degree in karate, and I'm a licensed bodyguard.
I come from a martial arts background so kicking and punching and using your hands and your feet is more of the art that I was taught.
The Norse way of speaking, no one really knew what the Vikings sounded liked, they were Norsemen. The accent is really a combination of a Scandinavian accent, maybe with a Swedish accent and an old way of speaking.
I grew up in a martial arts gym surrounded by men and boys, and I pretty much call myself a tomboy.
My first car was a Chevy Cavalier. My dad somehow convinced me that it was a hot sports car because it was red.
