I think it's a conscious choice of how you you're your life and what you allow to affect you and what you don't.

I had 2 months of training prior to this film starting and everything from wire-work to fight choreography and weapon training and shooting guns and everything you could think of. (Chronicles of Riddick reference)

You know what, at first it was definitely daunting and I think to step into the shoes that someone else has worn is always going to be a bit awkward but she, Rhianna gave me a real gift, a real gift in the foundation of this character and all I can do is thank her and hope that I did her justice.

They are such different, different, different things and the process is so different working in film versus television and the length of time that you have and the time that you have to explore everything because it's so different.

We had 5 minutes of training. 5 minutes before the thing went on; I thought I was going to have a heart-attack. No, not at all. No, we had Mike stunt coordinator there who taught me everything in 5 minutes.

Latex is very uncomfortable to wear. It's very hot, it's very uncomfortable. Yes, it's like wearing a balloon just that you can't breathe.

I would never close any doors to anything and if it were a character that I loved regardless, I would definitely give it thought but that is my first love, film.

(about her action figure): It's so bizarre. I like it. It's a funny thing to look at this little miniature toy, this tangible replica of yourself is funny but it's a huge compliment really, I'm flattered by it.

You deal with it differently in every circumstance but I haven't had much exposure to that so I don't know yet.

(about her fans): I know that they're incredibly loyal which is wild, it's wonderful.

There was a sort of mentor apprentice sort of energy there and she very much wanted to be like him as we see with the shaved head and all the different things, so in The Chronicles Of Riddick she really does want to be like him and move like him and be as good as him and make him proud and make him know that she can handle herself and so that was part of the character work as well.

I'm a big dork.

I'm an avid reader, I guess you could say I'm a bit of a bookworm.

I'm desperate to go to Australia. I'm always working on my Australian accent.

I love to travel and I travel as often as I can. I don't stay in one place too long.

I'm reading Mutant Message Down Under which is a story of a woman, this aboriginal tribe in Australia, and I read a bunch of different things at once actually.

Being raised in France primarily as a child I spent a lot of time in the south of France and all through Italy and we traveled so much. I think that's why I'm so used to being all over the place.

(about the casting process): They are very respectful that way, it's nice. We don't end up all in one place, I think that would be just traumatizing.

I think it's a conscious choice of how you you're your life and what you allow to affect you and what you don't.

Nina Simone is one of my all time favorites. The Gypsy Kings. A bit off beat my collection of music.

I'm doing a bit of boxing here and there, which I did train with for the film and yoga to kind of counteract that. Just the little things here and there.

think for 6 months, you're doing this every single day and so that was the maintenance and then since we finished the film, I've been keeping it up a bit because it kind of sticks with you, the feeling that it gives is nice.

I think she's [her character in Chronicles Of Riddick] got a lot of internal emotional battling going on and so to try and make those things clear was definitely a challenge.

I danced for a bit as a child, I did ballet and I was a bit of a swimmer but I was never an athlete until this and now I love it.

I had lots of nicks and cuts and bruises and things but I have my Riddick war wounds to prove my hard work, so it's ok.

There are so many elements to her [her character in Chronicles Of Riddick] and so many different layers.

Latex is very uncomfortable to wear. It’s very hot, it’s very uncomfortable. Yes, it’s like wearing a balloon just that you can’t breathe. So yes I prefer the Kyra outfit by far [to Gwen's].
