I was skeptical about doing Texas Chainsaw at first because it’s such a cult classic. I’d seen some of the sequels and was not a fan of those.
My definition of sexy is not just using what you got from God, but also that you represent what you believe in. I don’t want people to think I’m sexy for what I look like, I want them to find me sexy for who I am and what I do.
I love the discipline. I love the schedule of pushing your body to an extreme and getting it to a particular type of physical shape. Learning a new self defense or some kind of martial art that I didn’t know before and the loving of that is also hating that at the same time.
There is so much pressure to look a certain way in this town. But it’s nice to have a little meat on you, and I hope I inspire women to appreciate their muscular calves.
Get out there, even if it’s a hike or something, just break up the monotony of going to the gym.
It’s a new stage and a new moment in my life. I’m moving forward. It feels quite inspiring, fun, and positive. As I get older, I find a greater sense of self-confidence. I’ve learned that it’s fine to not try to be anything else but myself.
If I got a dollar every time someone told me to name my future kid ‘Batmo’ I’d almost have enough to pay for therapy for a kid named Batmo.
Definitely. Cate Blanchett or Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore – women that have no boundaries, no borders. They can do anything, They can be any character and you accept it and go with it as a viewer, and as an audience member. That’s the kind of career that I’m looking for.
You know how great villains just believe in what they’re doing? In their minds they’re not villains, they’re not doing anything wrong; they’re just self-righteous in their dedication to their cause.
I think I could drink my own blood. Is that weird?
I can’t even go to the dry cleaner by myself anymore. You’re seen in public with anybody that you might not even know, and you’re speculated about.
A lot of the times once you’ve finished a scene, the best reaction is to say you don’t really remember what happened. I don’t really remember what I did or the choices I made.
I work with a couple charities called Serving Those Who Serve and Rebuilding Together. Both are supportive of veterans when they come home.
I just want an opportunity. If you don’t like the audition, don’t hire me! But if you don’t want to even see me – that’s hurtful. And why? You know nothing about me!
I’m not going to give up doing interesting things. I’m going to do it as long as I possibly can and hopefully have longevity in this business.
Being Sexiest Woman Alive definitely didn’t just open all the doors for me, which I thought it would. I thought, ‘This is going to be huge for me!’ And it really wasn’t at all.
At 10, I was intrigued by surgery, I wanted to be a surgeon for a long time. I love doctor shows and surgery shows. Blood is not an issue for me. I even took pictures once of me getting my blood taken.
I’ve been involved with sports my whole life, which made clothes and makeup and handbags not that important as a kid. I just didn’t care.
Being someone I’m not for a period of time and loving every minute of being in someone else’s skin.
You know, those iconic things we wanted to throw in for fun, but I think the point to see it was to see how totally different it was from what Len wanted to do with it. It’s a different beast completely.
