Quote

I'm completely at ease on a set. I'm pretty comfortable most places, but hitting the mark and knowing set etiquette and understanding cameras and lenses are second nature. It's a language I've spoken for years.

When my physicality is involved, it's kind of my comfort zone, so I find it much easier to access emotions.
Zoe Bell
Image
There is an art to acting, and there are techniques that are acquired. You can be as emotional as you'd like, as a person, but figuring out ways that you can bring specific emotions at specific times and have them be true, and relating to someone as someone that they're not, is a lot.

Humans sort of instinctively respond negatively to something that's not true.
Zoe Bell
Image
I had to paint the picture that I was never scared, otherwise I couldn't do my job. But now, as an actor, I'm literally paid to look emotionally accessible.
Zoe Bell
Image
I would find it more difficult if somebody else was doing the action.
Zoe Bell
Image
I think because I am a physical person, and because my way of expressing and performing and storytelling or explaining has always been with my body, if I can combine the two I find it really liberating.

I love the idea of doing comedy, whether it's action comedy or just straight comedy. It's such a big, new world for me that I'm starting to realize that any character that I relate to, in any way, shape or form, or that I have any appreciation for, given enough preparation, I can find that person.

Some of my best friends are like, I love that you are just the biggest pussy on the planet. And I have no problem with it at all, I love it. But it took a long time to understand that that's a part of my tapestry.

Image
I love acting. And if there's a niche that needs filling, I'm happy to get in there and try to fill it.
Zoe Bell
Image
I've always appreciated great acting performances, but I've even learned to appreciate not so great ones 'cause it's hard.
Zoe Bell
Image
I like the debate, but I don't really like the fight. I don't like being in the ring. I'm not competitive.
Zoe Bell
Image
I'm certainly not on a mission to be taken seriously as a dramatic actress, any more than I am just to be able to get roles that are exciting and satisfying to me. If that means action, then that means action.
Zoe Bell
Image
The thing that I come across is that people think that I might actually be super aggressive, want-to-fight type in real life. The irony is that that's just not true, at all.
Zoe Bell
Image
Part of the joy I'm discovering in acting is the fact that it's uncomfortable to me, that it's challenging, and the possibilities of always being able to improve on something, of always being able to try something new, it's intriguing and exciting.

Having been a stunt girl for so long, a big part of my job was to not just make the other person look as cool as they could, but also to act as a support. My job was to make them as safe as they could be, so that they could be as explosive and as emotionally engaged as they could be.

Feeling fear is a good sign that your survival instincts are intact. You need to appreciate the dangers to stay safe.

When being a stunt double, my job has always a supportive role, which is interesting, really. Part of what I really like about it is making a situation where people can just come out of their shell and be super bad-ass. That's exciting!

My favorite thing in moviemaking is to shoot in chronological order if at all possible, because it just helps for continuity and all the logistical purposes. It also helps with performance and the journey of each character, but I also think it's good for the director and everyone [else] involved.
Zoe Bell
Image
In my career as a double, a lot of my job is to not just do the fights to make them look cool, but also to appear as the same person as the actor I am playing.

People are far more protective [of women] instinctively.
