"Never be ashamed of what or how you feel... just be honest."
"I'm probably one of the worst actors as far as preparation goes, because I actually don't prepare. I find it easier to read the script and whatever hits me in my stomach, like deep down, I just go with it. And the director kind of molds me whether to go right or left with it."
"When I was training, I trained with my younger brother Brady. I would wrestle some of my friends, who I had grown up with, which showed me some moves, but it was never a full on match. When I went to competitions, there were other girls, so I always wrestled girls."
"There was one time I wrestled two boys and I beat them both! They weighed a lot less than I did and I think they didn't want to hurt a girl, so I don't know if I really won - I'd like to think I did."
"Just for fun, I'm really goofy and I would love to do some stupid comedy. I'm talking, like, crazy, out there, Will Ferrell type of thing. I love it; I think those movies are so funny."
"Chris Farley, I was a huge fan of his growing up. I would love to do something kind of slapstick and funny, maybe where I could change my look even a little bit."
"I'm pretty healthy, most of the time."
"I think that when people look at me, and they look at my height and my voice and my coloring, they automatically think, 'Tough.'"
"I will never be a waif. I want to market myself as a healthy-looking woman who is an action-star kind of girl."
"I'll say this, I'm no stranger to working with a foreign cast, foreign directors, that sort of thing. I love it, because I think that when you have people from different countries, it sort of brings everyone together, it's more of a worldly film."
"I actually read 'Wonder Woman,' and here's the thing about her: she's more of a physical presence than anything else. You don't get to really know her on the inside."
"I was cast in 'Thor' back in 2009, so it sort of took me out of the running for anything tied to DC Comics."
"I'm very interested in what makes people tick; people are so weird and complicated."
"I find Los Angeles a bit desperate. For me, the energy there is bad."
"Not to sound too hippie, but I work so much off of energy. I'm a Pisces, and that's part of who I am."
"I'm a huge comic book fan, and I've read a lot from all different comic book outlets."
"I grew up with four brothers. I used to play sports with them. And I liked wearing their clothes. I'd run around in T-shirts, jeans, and baseball caps."
"I generally keep my diet pretty healthy, but if there's pizza, I'll eat it."
"I'm not easily offended, and I have a certain toughness."
"I pretty much eat all day to keep my strength up. I'm primarily a vegetarian who has an occasional side of fish."
"I think everybody can sort of relate to feeling like the outcast and feeling a bit lost and just craving somebody's attention."
"Marvel, I think, on purpose, they don't tell me certain things. Because they know I'll be like, 'So here's what's gonna happen.' But I do know I will be in 'Thor 3' and that Sif will have a very pivotal part in that movie."
"I went through some training with a Navy SEAL. I had to learn how to submerge myself underwater and hold my breath, how to move without creating waves, and how to be very stealth."
"Turns out I'm good with guns even though I don't like them."
"I'm a very physical person. I hug people more so than shake hands."
