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.

More quotes by Zoe Bell
When my physicality is involved, it's kind of my comfort zone, so I find it much easier to access emotions.
Zoe Bell
Being a stunt girl is very much my comfort zone, so I had to remove the comfort zone to step fully into the slightly scarier zone. Also, just being perceived as an actor by the outside world, rather than as the stunt girl who does dialogue, has been a part of the challenge in front of me.
Zoe Bell
Humans sort of instinctively respond negatively to something that's not true.
Zoe Bell
I'm a poster child for feminism whether I like it or not, but I was resistant to the part of me that was a woman.
Zoe Bell
My job as a double was always to put [actors] at ease. My job was to make my character, or the actress that I was doubling, look as badass as possible by being there.
Zoe Bell
A couple years in [to acting], I recognized that I developed methods from being a stuntwoman for so long that worked for me that I wasn't aware of. And I had to become aware of them, because I didn't recognize that I could actually apply them across the board.
Zoe Bell
I was interested in seeing how to branch out and sort of use the Internet more as a way of making and promoting movies. There's no real difference in making it successful - it's all down to the dedication of the people involved to make it a success.
Zoe Bell
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.
Zoe Bell
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
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.
Zoe Bell
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
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
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.
Zoe Bell
Whatever my job description consists of, becomes my job. Maybe it's just the way I tackle work, in general.
Zoe Bell
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.
Zoe Bell
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
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.
Zoe Bell
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.
Zoe Bell
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.
Zoe Bell
I've always appreciated great acting performances, but I've even learned to appreciate not so great ones 'cause it's hard.
