There is a vulnerability that any woman has in a situation where you're surrounded by men in an enclosed space. You learn through time different defense mechanisms, and it could be for protection, for emotional, physical, everything.
I grew up idolizing these men, like Arnold Schwarzenegger. I loved Sly (Stallone). I loved Bruce Willis. These guys embodied everything that action was in the 80s and 90s.
The moment where I realized how little I actually was, was when Dave Bautista picked me off the ground and I still wasn't even at his pec yet. I was like, "Oh my God, this man is massive."
It's a very, very rare moment when another actor hurts you. I mean, that's not normal.
I am tired of women playing action heroes like men, because they are not men. But sometimes they are written like men.
As far as acting goes, you get to a certain point where I think everyone can do the job and it comes down to a level of commitment. I think sometimes all you have to do is show up.
