Women can't be afraid to look like action heroes. It's not always pretty, but when it's on the screen, it translates well to the audience.

If you watch the show and the characters don't look at each other while they're talking, the actors probably aren't getting along.

There are a lot of other things in this world that can and will bring me joy. Acting is one of them.

We don't move on in the stunt unless it looks like a hit. So when I see it on TV, I'm generally satisfied that people are going to buy it.

People get on a show and they fought tooth and nail. Almost 95% of the actors out there want to be on a television series. Then as soon as they get onto one, no, no, I want to be a movie star. This television series stuff, no, no no.

You show your vulnerability through relationships, and those feelings are your soft spot. You need to have a soft spot.

In terms of being a role model, I didn't start out to be one. I don't go to work every day with that in mind. But, I do get a lot of fan mail from young girls.

I've been really fortunate to go from series to series to series.

I never was really into comics as a child, and I think if you miss the boat when you're a kid, you don't necessarily pick up on it when you're an adult.

I think I'm a people person. I get very attached to people. And I've become so attached to all the people on my show, the cast, the crew and the producers.

We take the show very seriously, but we don't take ourselves seriously.

My first paying job, when I was 15, I was a day camp counselor.

Women can't be afraid to look like action heroes. It's not always pretty, but when it's on the screen, it translates well to the audience.

In the beginning, people think vulnerability will make you weak, but it does the opposite. It shows you're strong enough to care.

Acting isn't the be-all end-all. There are a lot of other things in my life that will bring me joy if I didn't act anymore.

There are a lot of great actresses out there. You learn to appreciate each one for what they offer.

I competed in track for 10 years and have been doing kickboxing forever.

When you're fighting with a stunt person, your intent is to miss.

I came to acting in a very circuitous way.

I read every script from beginning to end, and I read every draft that I can. I like the show, I like the character, and I want to protect both of those things.

It's part of the job to compensate for outfit.

The most important thing is to just be good at what you do. You do a good job playing the character, and people will be taken up with your character, not your clothes.

It doesn't help anybody to put out a bad script.

Linda Hamilton is my hero. She was so tough and so strong and so vulnerable at the same time. I think that's what woman action figures are allowed to be: vulnerable, in a way that women are.

I approach my character with the question: What would an animal think? How would an animal respond? A lot of times, it's quick action and no fear, and sometimes it's irrational fear. You don't always know.

Cast changes are a hard thing. For two years, we had this little family. We weren't together when these changes were decided upon. It all happened during our hiatus.

That's the thing with sci-fi and action roles. You have to play the danger as real. If you don't, you end up with egg on your face. You have to commit. You can't think about how stupid it might look without the special effects.

When I was in university, my dream was to be a coach, like a high school track coach. Not to teach.

I can't say that I've made the transition to movies.

I think I've paid my dues. I've really put in a lot of time on set.

I did a lot of stunts, so the harness work isn't foreign to me either.

I desperately want a dog, but I've been told I travel too much, and I'm not allowed to have a dog.

It's all about exploring the more unpredictable aspects in the character, not just fighting people.

I would be very happy doing movies. I love to work and I think I'm a little different.

I've been working some really long hours for the last five or six years. Anybody who works on series television knows, and especially women because women spend probably two hours more than the guys with all their hair and makeup crap.

Most women don't play like guys do: they don't wrestle, fight, get into brawls. They don't know how to express themselves in a physical, active way.

I did work out every day. I needed it to have the endurance to do what needed to be done and not get hurt. I have such a new respect for action stars now.

Good managers have a bias for action.

Oh yeah, I'm a huge romance fan. And some women like action.

If nothing is to be done in the given situation, he must invent plausible reasons for doing nothing; and if something must be done, he must suggest the something. The unpardonable sin is to propose nothing, when action is imperative.

The international proletariat first appeared on the scene in the early Thirties of the nineteenth century, and its first great action was the French Revolution of 1848.

To stop terrorists before the strike, we must do three things: deny them entry into the country, curtail their freedom of action inside the country, and deprive them of material and moral support from within the country.

Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth.

But the way people commonly use the word nowadays it means something all of whose parts are mutually interdependent - not only for their mutual action, but for their meaning and for their existence.

In any ethical situation, the thing you want least to do is probably the right action.

A man's action is only a picture book of his creed.

The time has come for the American government to recognize the damage that has occurred to our economy, and to take firm action to curtail what I believe is both unfair and illegal foreign competition.

The methods of peace propaganda which aim at establishing peace doctrine by argument and by creating a feeling favorable to peace in general seem to fall short of reaching the springs of human action and of dealing with the causes of the conduct which they seek to modify.

There are two good things in life - freedom of thought and freedom of action.
