As long as 'Tomb Raider' will have me, I will be their Lara Croft.
But I would love to have played Angelina Jolie in 'Tomb Raider'. Lara Croft! I've done the training so I'm half-way there. Now I just need to get her face and body! She is so hot.
From her first superheroine role in 'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider' - which earned $275 million globally in 2001, back when that was real money - Jolie has been the one actress who can stand up to any male star and stare him down.
I still rate the bit in the first 'Tomb Raider' where the T Rex comes round the end of the valley and roars as one of the most awesome gaming experiences, and I still adore 'Tomb Raider' for putting that in my life.
I felt like Lara Croft while doing stunts.
As a female there aren't too many characters that are very empowering, and there's something very empowering about Lara Croft. She kicks butt and she does it in style. She's confident and she's educated.
I wanna try doing a movie similar to 'The Walking Dead,' an action-horror, or something similar to 'Lara Croft.'
There is definitely something that has to be said for me liking the action, Lara Croft type stuff. I really want to explore that side of me.
When I heard about the first Tomb Raider, I was very interested and I would have liked to have directed that. When I was approached for the second film, I was delighted.
I was obsessed with 'The Lion King' as a kid, and I really wanted to go work in an animal sanctuary and have my Lara Croft moment.
I love playing females that are put into these pressure-cooker situations, but they're real. I didn't want to be this kind of Lara Croft superwoman.
I want people to see the action side of me. I love all of that stuff and it would be a dream to do that Lara Croft-type role.
This film, Tomb Raider 2, is a big challenge. It's quite exhausting.
Lara Croft is such a strong individual, she's very driven, she doesn't need a man, she's speaks her own mind, and that she's in control of her own life. It's a lot of what women want and have.
The launch of 'Tomb Raider III' was actually my first experience of the games industry.
For me, there have been times when an action movie, even a 'Tomb Raider,' has helped me get out of myself and be physical again. It's like therapy.
