Kari Matchett Quotations

I knew I wasn't the person to play Ponyboy because I'm a girl, but without knowing it, I understand that was a place I could put all the stuff that I was feeling.

I was always a natural performer. It was easy for me. I danced and I sang, and all that stuff. I felt like I'd be something in the arts, but it vacillated between being a dancer and a singer, or whatever.

I'm looking forward to a future where there are roles of greater vulnerability and humor involved.

I would love to do some characters that have greater vulnerability. I don't know why. I know I can play these roles, but they're certainly not the only roles I can play.

I've worked with some absolutely wonderful directors who bring out the best in me and I know I can trust, and then I've had the opposite experience, too. I've had both experiences, and obviously one is good and one is not good. When they're great, it's good. When they're not great, it's not so great.

Having the opportunity to play a strong woman is a good one.

I've always been into sports and yoga and running. I actually study a martial arts self-defense program called Krav Maga. I can't quite say it's easy, but it's fun for me and I love to do it.

As women, you have to negotiate your way through a man's world.

At this point of time in history, I don't think that women in any work force that's a male-dominated work force have the same rules to play or live by as men do.

I would love to do some more comedy. I would love to do some silliness. I would love to do some characters that have greater vulnerability.
