As a stunt woman, I took it upon myself to be a bit of a jock about it. So you wouldn't see me vulnerable, you wouldn't see me hurting or sad because I was there as a professional to do my job. Nobody likes to see a girl get hurt - that's the truth of it - so I had to put them at ease so they would let me do my job.

I have done a lot of prosthetics throughout my career so I am used to it.

For a stunt woman, emotions don't matter to the shot. It was easier for me to do my job if I shut all my emotions off.

With acting, it's my job to be emotionally vulnerable and accessible.

In times of grief and sorrow I will hold you and rock you and take your grief and make it my own.

It is a sign of creeping inner death when we can no longer praise the living.

Viewed from a distance, or through the eye of the All-Knowing CEO of the Universe, the crash of 2008 followed the usual pattern. A long-lived boom driven by cheap credit, going back as far as 1982 (though subject to interruptions in the mid-1980s and 1990s, and in 2001), came to grief because of a rise in the cost of borrowing money.

When I'm talking about depression, I'm talking about the more severe forms of depression, and I think that conceptualising as a form of grief is probably not the most effective way of looking at it. I mean, at the end of the day, people suffer enormously, and you want to treat it.
