“For me, it's first about the characters. I look for a character who is...” — Maika Monroe Quote

“For me, it's first about the characters. I look for a character who is intriguing and challenging and different from what I've done before.”

“I used to be a professional kiteboarder. People were like, 'Oh, my God, are you scared of sharks? Are you scared of injuries?' You can't be scared. If you're scared, then you can't do it. You can't train to be the best.”

“They have so many great horror movies made in the '80s. I mean, the old-school horror is so good.”

“I love a challenge, and I love challenging people's preconceptions.”

“I still really love acting. I find it really challenging. And I really love film; it's a lot of fun.”

“I take them both seriously - I don't particularly want to be an 'actor-musician.' I want to play the great challenging parts, to be right for the part, rather than just, 'Oh, he can play the fiddle.'”
