I always want a challenge. My whole career has been based on trying to avoid female characters that don't get to do anything. And it's really hard to avoid those.

If you risk nothing, then you risk everything.

Archers are pretty focused.

Archery is something that I took up later and didn't know I had a natural aptitude for.

Kids need to see entertainment where females are valued as much as males.

The main thing about archery is a battle with yourself. You can ruin it all. Once you have learned the technique, the point is to recreate the perfect technique over and over and over.

Look at the number of cop shows and lawyer shows and forensics shows... I think there could be room for two quite different examinations of the same political office.

So many female characters are the girlfriend of the person having the adventure. I want to play baseball, I don't want to be the girlfriend of the one [who plays].

Instead of trying to manufacture feelings, use the way you already feel. Or at least add that in.

It's partly because our culture so hyper-sexualizes females that if you don't measure up to whatever we're forced to think is the standard, then you feel inadequate.

The time you spend loving is the most valuable time of your life.

The wounded can inflict the most painful wound without hesitation.

I survived. (J'ai vecu.)

I have more of a desire to write songs about being an independent woman than being in love, songs about getting up and moving on even if I have a broken heart.

Marches alone won't bring integration when human respect is disintegratin

Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky.

When I was a kid, I was always watching genre movies on TV.

Animals have two vital functions in today's society; to be delicious and to fit well.

I never thought in terms of typing myself, because I wasn't that successful. After an actor has done a few pieces of work, his naïveté is the part of the craft he has to nurture most.

We can't always expect great things from great men; but we must always expect little things from little men!
