There are a lot of great actresses out there. You learn to appreciate each one for what they offer.

I did a lot of stunts, so the harness work isn't foreign to me either.

I approach my character with the question: What would an animal think? How would an animal respond? A lot of times, it's quick action and no fear, and sometimes it's irrational fear. You don't always know.

In terms of being a role model, I didn't start out to be one. I don't go to work every day with that in mind. But, I do get a lot of fan mail from young girls.

I think I've paid my dues. I've really put in a lot of time on set.

Acting isn't the be-all end-all. There are a lot of other things in my life that will bring me joy if I didn't act anymore.
