I give myself a Pilates/yoga hybrid mat class almost every day. I also continue to take ballet classes. Both of these practices help me to be aware of my body, my center, and how I move, both with my physical space and my mental space.

More quotes by Amanda Schull
When I first came USA, I didn't feel this was my home. This was where I was studying, and then my home was now rejecting me.
Amanda Schull
I think one of my biggest lessons so far in life is that hard work really does pay off. It may not culminate in the way you expected it to, but I have found that when I really put my head down and apply myself, I often get a good result.
Amanda Schull
I love the process of creating a character someone entirely different from myself, and depicting it, either on stage or screen.
Amanda Schull
I left home at 14 and I have friends who joined the navy and the army performing troops at 9. I know people [like that]. It's a very straightforward character.
Amanda Schull
Usually you read a script and you know somebody who knows somebody who maybe knew that person or met them once.
Amanda Schull
Science fiction is one of the smartest genres around because you have to have so much forethought.

It gets better. It gets so much easier to be in your skin no matter what size that skin is. If you do something that you're good at and that makes you happy, that's the best outlet that I could ever suggest to anybody....if you are able to just enjoy who you are, and if you can learn to love who you are, then you'll just be a much happier person.
Amanda Schull
I think the idea of embodying the physical presence of a character is the same on stage and screen. There are just different levels of expression to keep in mind for each platform.
Amanda Schull
You don't want to burn any bridges, but you also want to make sure you leave your character bridges wide open and you're never seen as one particular thing, or that's who you'll be, unfortunately, for the rest of your career.

The second time I was banned was when I directed a film called Xiu Xiu. I was banned for three years from China.
Amanda Schull
When I am confronted with emotional pain, I try to allow myself the time to properly grieve. We are caring, emotional beings, and attempting to suppress pain will only cause it to negatively manifest itself in other ways.
Amanda Schull
Every time I get a script in my inbox, it's like a little Christmas present. It's so exciting to see what they've cooked up.
Amanda Schull
For the first four years of my studying in the U.S., I couldn't go home for two reasons. One is I was afraid that if I left my student visa may not hold and I wouldn't be able to come back to continue. Second, there was this big outrage in China that I didn't know how to face the public.
Amanda Schull
What a person feels within themselves and about themselves radiates from them. Trust me, I have worked with people - both men and women - who are not what most would consider conventionally attractive, but who exude such a magnetism about them that people are compelled to watch them on stage or screen.
Amanda Schull
It's hard with ballet because your aesthetic really is important. It's different from acting and from film. Nobody wants to watch somebody who is sickly thin. And it's interesting because I have danced with people who are ill, have eating disorders, and a light goes off within them.

The worst beauty advice that I have ever taken has been from people who have told me that sunscreen isn't necessary. Not true!
Amanda Schull
You never know where your next job is going to lead you, down the road. One single episode that might seem so far removed from what you might end up doing in the future might spark somebody's memory bank. Just one little line you said or a look you gave might be what they want to pursue with a character.
Amanda Schull
I would remind people on the planet that this is the only one we have, and we need to take care of it. I would want people to truly consider what we do and how we treat the earth, the ecosystems, and animals we share it with, and think about the legacy we want to leave behind.
Amanda Schull
I think one of the big challenges about science fiction is finding truth to relate to as an actor.
Amanda Schull
Love for me is comfort. I feel most loved and most capable of giving love when I am around people or in places that make me comfortable.
