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.

Cause at the end of the day, honestly, at the end of the day when you're in your death bed and that's it, I think it's the relationships you've had and the people that you've touched and the people that have touched you that matter.

My parents moved to England with that immigrant ethos of self-betterment, but I don't think they expected the kind of grief they experienced.

Knowledge is death in my experience. The more I know about film, the harder it is to create freely.

Misery, mutilation, destruction, terror, starvation and death characterize the process of war and form a principal part of the product.
