More quotes by Tricia Helfer
As an actor, if I just did sci-fi, I think it would get limiting, like if you just play lawyers or doctors, over and over. It's a lot more fun, if you get to play lots of different types of characters.
Tricia Helfer
I'd rather play an ass-kicking destroyer or a super strong spy or agent than some meek, vulnerable character.
Tricia Helfer
I've never gone for the smooth, suave Latin or French lover. That usually makes me think they're trying to pull one over on me.
Tricia Helfer
I'm not very good at resting on my laurels. I am a bit of a workaholic, and I like to keep busy and active, so I think that's what drives me.
Tricia Helfer
I just want to be challenged. I want to be proud of what I do, and I want to learn new things and keep growing.
Tricia Helfer
The most important thing, when playing characters with chemistry, is being able to work off the other actor and be supported.
Tricia Helfer
I get antsy and annoyed if I am sedentary too long.
Tricia Helfer
I handle emotional pain by trying to understand that it's going to be painful and to allow for it instead of fighting it. Doesn't make it any easier, though.
Tricia Helfer
I find that the hot yoga is sort of a false thing, so your body temperature goes up and you can stretch and you can injure yourself a little bit easier than if you work yourself into... if you heat yourself up.
Tricia Helfer
Sometimes, if you don't have kids yourself, it's assumed you won't understand or know how to play a mom, which is kind of silly if you think about it.
Tricia Helfer
Work hard, play fair, be kind to all living creatures, and take a moment to just sit back and breathe.
Tricia Helfer
I think sometimes the hardest obstacle is yourself. I can certainly be my own worst critic and oftentimes forget to enjoy the here and now. Physically, the hardest obstacle I have overcome was severe back issues. [This] resulted in finally getting surgery to replace four discs, which changed my life back to active - which is how I am happiest.
Tricia Helfer
Burn Notice' is a show that definitely has some levity to it and it's a fun show, but it's also, you fully believe, you're fully invested that Michael Westen does this stuff. You want Michael Westen on your team.
Tricia Helfer
I'm happy that I have agents and managers that believe in me.
Tricia Helfer
You just have to be persistent. I think that's one of the biggest things about the model industry and this career is being persistent and believing in yourself and also being ready when the timing is right. So much of it is about timing and luck, so to be ready when you get the opportunity.
Tricia Helfer
I have always been physically active. I grew up a tomboy and [was] into sports, so staying active is something that I enjoy. I get antsy and annoyed if I am sedentary too long. I mix up exercise - yoga, Pilates, hiking, running, and weights. I also eat well. I do not eat meat or poultry - have not since I was eighteen.
Tricia Helfer
Treating myself is more about just going out and having a great hike, or going on a long motorbike ride.
Tricia Helfer
I think actors' careers have highs and lows, and ups and downs. It just really all depends.
Tricia Helfer
People will always put you in a box that they think you fit in, and it's up to you to not fall into it.
Tricia Helfer
Chemistry is a hard thing. I don't think you can force it, and it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to have great chemistry outside of work. It's just something that sparks on screen or doesn't.
