I drive [Susan Sarandon] nuts. I'm always talking about her being my hero. I'm sure she's probably sick of it.

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].

I wish I knew who said it, but my favorite quote is, "If a person can do it, I can do it."

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.

I'd rather die on my own terms than live on theirs. I'd rather die loving Alex than live without him.

I find myself hoping I can get on a TV show, and then people from Oklahoma will come to my restaurant. Then I'll be able to make enough money to open my own place.

I have to say I've been lucky in that way in that I've been able to go from different films and different genres with different challenges.

I'm actually most comfortable when I'm in a bikini, running around on the beach, like, no makeup. It's really free-feeling, whereas I'm always having to get dressed up and putting makeup on.

If some thug breaks into my home I can use my roundhouse kick, but I prefer he look down the barrel of my gun.

Precision is not one of the qualities that comes out in my work.

I've never owned a cell phone and don't plan on ever having one. If anyone needs to talk to me, they know where I live.

Ye Gads, no! I couldn't stand the noise.
