We did some cool wire work in ‘The Pact’ – they had me strapped to a harness underneath my shirt so they could fling me around the house and slam me into doors. I definitely got some bruises even with all the padding! – Caity Lotz
I hope to do big action movies and strong dramas, and to produce films. I also want to get kids more involved in what’s going on in the world and to be politically active. – Caity Lotz
Lady Gaga? She’s cool! She works really hard. When we would have our dance rehearsals, she wasn’t the singer that was like, ‘Oh, I’ll just stand in front.’ She wanted to learn everything – she was doing the dance moves. She’s a good dancer. – Caity Lotz
I like my feet. I have a tattoo on my foot with my last name. They’re dancer feet. They’re pretty. My toes are proportioned nicely. And they’re strong – I can pinch people with my toes. – Caity Lotz
Sometimes people can put way too much emphasis on looking ‘hot’ which can be stressful and put you in your head. – Caity Lotz
On ‘Death Valley,’ I fought this werewolf, and he was picking me up and slamming me down. They put padding down in the garbage so he could really slam me down. They’re flying around and I’m doing these jumping flying triangles pulling the guy down. It’s just fun. – Caity Lotz
I toured with Lady Gaga, and her choreographer is incredibly talented and develops some crazy routines. Lady Gaga is very involved in the dancing, too, and she always wants to have creative input. I had an incredible time with her! – Caity Lotz
There are different types of talents and intelligences, and traditional schools sometimes ignore the creative ones. It is important for us to give kids every platform for them to find what they are good at and what they love. The arts also provide a space for newfound creativity. – Caity Lotz
In high school, during lunchtime I would go in the room where the wrestling mats were and try different flips and different moves. Like windmills. I just started mixing martial arts with jazz and contemporary stuff and it would get mashed together and became my style. – Caity Lotz
Working with Jon Hamm was super-fun because he’s a brilliant actor and he’s very kind. I would hang around sets for scenes that I wasn’t even in because I wanted to watch how he worked. – Caity Lotz
Dance has always been my number one. I started when I was seven years old and I’ve had the opportunity to work with some really amazing artists. – Caity Lotz
Acting is my number one, but dancing will always be a part of who I am and in my heart. I love doing stunts when they are a part of my acting. – Caity Lotz
The power of the human spirit inspires me. Movies, books, stories, people, anything that reminds us that we are more than just this physical body and our capacity for love and courage can bend reality. – Caity Lotz
I was never a big fan of horror. I got into it making these films, but I don’t ever see myself doing slasher movies. The kind of horror film I like is ‘The Shining.’ I don’t really like slashers, but I love thrillers with tension. – Caity Lotz
I’m always easily frightened and I hate being scared. I’ve never been able to go on the haunted house rides at carnivals of anything like that; my imagination just takes over! – Caity Lotz
I started classes and it wasn’t because I was like, ‘I want to be an actor!’ – I was really interested in the theory of what acting can be and what it’s about. It’s all about living in the moment and kind of being present, which is something that at that time in my life I really wanted to explore. – Caity Lotz
If people are talking about your movie and they’re like, ‘Yeah, it was ok’ – that’s the last reaction I would want! I would rather people would say, ‘Oh, I hated it!’ or ‘I loved it!’ rather than ‘Oh, it’s ok.’ – Caity Lotz
As a kid, I was always a tomboy, playing sport and doing martial arts. And I’m pretty opinionated – I’ve never been told that I’m a weak person. – Caity Lotz
I didn’t know I wanted to act until it was around 21. I had just come back to Los Angeles after two and half years of traveling and working as a dancer and singer and was looking for a new performing art to study. I started taking acting classes and fell in love. – Caity Lotz
I’ve danced my whole life. Martial arts is just fun for me, it’s all choreographed a bit like dance. I have done Muay Thai and Wushu, which is cool because it’s very fluid dance. I also do Tricking. It’s kind of like Taekwondo with the big kicks and flips and showier aspects of martial arts. – Caity Lotz
