I read the script for 'Somnia' when I was filming 'Oculus,' and I remember calling my manager going, 'I really need to do this movie,' and he's like, 'How about you finish this one first and then you see it?' I was like, 'I don't need to. I don't need to. You need to read this. I need to do this movie. The script is very good.'

I've seen 'Absentia,' which was amazing. I loved 'Absentia.' I loved that for no money, he was able to make a movie about something that you never saw. You never saw the bad guys. That was amazing to me. You never saw what you were supposed to be afraid of; you just knew you were supposed to be afraid of it. It was a phenomenal movie.

'Longmire' is an incredibly hard shooting schedule because the locations are usually an hour away every morning, and I come home every weekend. I fly back to L.A. for about 26 hours a weekend, just to touch base back at home. It's a lot of work. It's four really intense months.

I love to run, and I actually run quite a bit.

I think, as a woman in action in the business, you would be stupid not to express interest. Any female action role that presents itself as an opportunity I would throw myself at!

I grew up as a fan of comic books, and I've been reading them for so long that I've never felt an affinity toward just one.

I'm a huge fan of Kate Beckinsale. Sigourney Weaver gets me excited. Angelina Jolie... There's just so many women that do 'tough' really well.

I think that what made people accept Starbuck as a woman was that she was just such an interesting character. I think that once people put their guard down and their preconceived notions of what the show is supposed to be and just allowed it to really be good science fiction.

As far as I'm concerned... there's a side to an actor that wants to go on and play a thousand different roles.

I loved the challenge of being able to take a character who could be thrown away as 'crazy' and making her identifiable to the audience - also, to give her a vulnerability that people would cheer for.

I love playing women, and I think that this is a throughline to a lot of the characters I've played - they all have this aspect of being wronged. And I think, a lot of the time, the characters are actually wronged by themselves, and they find someone else to blame it on.

I'm a lot girlier than the roles that I play. I joke with Tricia Helfer all the time that she's my muscle.

There's a darkness to Riddick that I think allows people to want him to do bad things because you know Riddick is going to do bad things: that's just the way it is. But I think that at his core, who he is and what he's fighting for is something that everybody can identify with.

It's a very, very rare moment when another actor hurts you. That's not normal. If anything, it's the actor accidentally punching the stunt double, which happens quite a bit.

I don't subscribe to the thinking that being typecast is a bad thing.

I'm not a big person, so every time they were adding these big guys to the cast, I said to my trainer, 'We're screwed, dude.' I'm only five foot five, and I'm going to look so little.

What can you do? You're never going to be - I'm sure there are people out there who think Cindy Crawford isn't pretty.

It's weird to me to see how different everyone's opinion of beauty is.

We're not curing cancer, people. I wish we were, but we're not. It's entertainment.

There's always going to be someone somewhere who doesn't agree with my parents' opinion of me. It can't bother you.

It's kind of nice to play somebody that isn't psychotic or half-machine or dead or dying or on a spaceship somewhere.

We all wake up, and I'm sure at some point during the day we all have very similar thoughts regardless of our circumstances and where we are in the world.

I am an undisputed gangster. To me, that means playing by my own rules.

The Kardashian family have earned their place as an American dynasty.

I have huge admiration for Taylor Swift. She's tall, talented, young, thin, and beautiful. More importantly, she seems focused, generous, vulnerable, and kind.

When you're little, every experience writes on the canvas of who you are.

Our attention spans have been reduced by the immediate gratification provided by smartphones and social media.

I know a lot about systemic lupus erythematosus because I have it, too. I was diagnosed through the NHS when I first moved to England in 2008 following months of serious illness.

Jeremy Corbyn confuses the public because he looks like a librarian and enjoys baking bread.

My dad's Irish, so I was visiting Ireland a lot as a kid, so it's not totally foreign to me.

I guess I talk about her because I'm interested; I'm listening. Taylor Swift's words are so valuable to so many young people, not just her #GirlSquad.

I was a product of the society that said women are for decoration, and I do think girls should be able to do whatever they want.

When I think about women of color and their place politically in the world and culture... they've had two layers of just garbage to overcome. To me, a black woman is a woman-woman.

I've decided that I'm completely rock n' roll.

You'll never make a success of yourself when you're doing an impersonation of somebody else.

Growing up in Canada, I dated a few ice hockey players.

I was really lucky to have been raised in this really powerful matriarchy where my dad was around, but I was with my mom and my grandma most of the time. They were heavy influences on me. My mother has a career in technology; my grandma sold real estate.

I highly recommend reading the book 'Confessions Of A Video Vixen.'

Stand-up comedy is not a man's job. It's an alpha job: To be the only person in a room with a microphone who's allowed to talk.

I was born with the confidence of an 89-year-old man. So it's strange when people ask, 'What's it like being a female comedian?' It never occurred to me that I'd be limited as a woman - that I couldn't be a scientist, a doctor, or anything I wanted.

When you're really famous, there's very little authenticity in people, so you prefer the company of children.

I'm nearly see-through. Like a jellyfish.

I have a really different touring life to most comedians because I go home every night to do the school run in the morning. So I'm not in hotels or living it up.

I'm from that generation where there aren't that many pictures of me as a baby.

I don't worry about whether or not people like me.

Christmas coming means one thing for comedians: office party gigs!

It's not my place to tell anyone what kind of feminist she should be.

You think Trump cares if you leave? He wants power, not prosperity.

Many of us are quite stupid.

Why would you watch an Oscar-nominated film unless you're mad enough to purposely experience feelings? Bleh. I'm not interested in catching those.
