When you're playing with aspects of sexuality, certain things have to be hidden. That's what my mother always used to tell me. I wanted to stay as true as possible to the original character, but didn't feel the need to go as far with the costume.

Action films have been very testosterone-driven, not that that's a bad thing. But there is an interesting sexuality that I don't think has been that well explored in that action world, which is something women could bring to that genre.

You know, I don't think any mother aims to be a single mom. I didn't wish for that, but it happened.

I mean, I'm new but I've always been very interested in film making process and I've been lucky enough to work with film makers in my past that have been very encouraging to let me hang around. I get so emotionally vested - that the producer part of me was natural.

I'd love to get pajamas. Good, nice and warm flannel ones.

My mom has made it possible for me to be who I am. Our family is everything. Her greatest skill was encouraging me to find my own person and own independence.
