Every part I've done has been for one reason or another-money, or the part, or the director, or the location. I'd like to get one thing that's all of those combined.
I definitely feel, when I'm wearing the costume, that I could scare people and hurt them.
I did commercials since I was 16, and that's kind of acting, depending on what you're selling.
I don't know the Internet-I'm not on it, I don't even have it, so that's all right-I'll just change my name!
I don't know why they wanted me-no one had ever seen me do any sort of comedy one way or another, so it couldn't have been that!
I don't think I'd want to sit down and listen to people's stories all day long.
I have started studying Jiu Jitsu, which is a lot easier for women; it's not a contact sport. Instead of resistance, you become like part of your attacker, and by not resisting you create a very interesting situation of being able to get out easier.
I hope they make a show like M*A*S*H, which dealt with a lot of difficult subject matter but was very funny.
I now have a plan - I haven't had a plan up until this year.
I really think the mind of someone who hasn't been welded into place by their work or studios or actors or this whole society is a wonderful mind to work with, so I'd like to do a big picture with an unknown director.
I want good and different parts, different from what I've done.
I was watching something the other day which started out with five guys walking towards you and one woman, and there you go-it's still being dominated by the male society.
I'm ecstatic to be working for Lifetime-it's all female, you read the list, the crew is all women, it's like being on Venus!
I've done a lot of femme fatales-that's how people see me, because of my physical look, and they were fun to play, but I've done it-time to move on to I Love Lucy stuff, and hopefully they'll write it.
It was an offer, they wanted me for the part. They had to talk me into it, though! It had that stigma, you know-anytime you redo something, it's panic time.
It's hard to be a super-person. It takes a lot out of you. So it's a whole different kind of acting, something I had never done before, and here I am doing it again. It's fun.
It's hard to portray somebody especially if you don't have her to speak to or any close friends-she was born in 1916, so they're fading away quickly.
My hat goes off to the Schwarzennegers and the Stallones and Van Dammes who play these sort of super-people.
Other people can see me however they wish, but it's obviously just something visual that pops into the casting director's head and that's it.
There are three rape scenes that I've had to act in, and none of them have gotten to film. I don't think it's something that should be promoted in any way.
We're all professionals, we've all been working, we don't have any new kids on the block, and we know what television is all about.
Wearing this kind of costume is not something I fantasize about. It's not natural, it's not comfortable. I don't see myself as this. But it gives you dramatic license to do almost anything when you're dressed as a bug.
When you're dead weight, in the right position, you win. And in reality, you wouldn't see someone my size kicking seven martial arts experts and winning.
You can take charge, kick ass, do whatever you have to do and it's okay. You can blow people up. These are things that are okay for cartoon characters to do.
