People are far more protective [of women] instinctively.

Feeling fear is a good sign that your survival instincts are intact. You need to appreciate the dangers to stay safe.

Humans sort of instinctively respond negatively to something that's not true.

In my career as a double, a lot of my job is to not just do the fights to make them look cool, but also to appear as the same person as the actor I am playing.

I love acting. And if there's a niche that needs filling, I'm happy to get in there and try to fill it.

My job has always been to not only make my character look like a badass but to also make the actor I am fighting opposite to be the character they need to be too.

When my physicality is involved, it's kind of my comfort zone, so I find it much easier to access emotions.

I would find it more difficult if somebody else was doing the action.

My job as a double was always to put [actors] at ease. My job was to make my character, or the actress that I was doubling, look as badass as possible by being there.

Whatever my job description consists of, becomes my job. Maybe it's just the way I tackle work, in general.

I had to paint the picture that I was never scared, otherwise I couldn't do my job. But now, as an actor, I'm literally paid to look emotionally accessible.

Whatever you believe in your heart, you will receive it.

What a comfort it was for me to know that no matter where I was in the world, my mother was praying for me.

Einstein's was a beautiful mix of confidence and awe.

I used to get down on myself a lot if I missed a shot, and it would just break my focus. But now I stay mentally tough and try to just forget about that play and keep on going.

I have fallen a hopeless victim to the Turk; he is the most charming of mortals.

Mistakes come from doing, but so does success.

I refuse to buy from anybody anything however nice or beautiful if it interferes with my growth or injures those whom Nature has made my first care.

Not everybody is cookie-cutter. You just can't be. There are too many variables in life.

I like New York in the spring and in the fall. It's one of the best cities to walk that I've ever been in.
