To maintain her fitness and overall health, the actress works out on a regular basis. She also undergoes intense physical training when her roles on film and television call for it. For instance, her character in the Kill Bill films required her to train vigorously considering she played a skilled assassin. In an interview, she shared how she got fitter and stronger for the role.

She revealed: “Oh wow! Um… KILL BILL was an awesome experience. But very physical. The first 3 months we trained for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. It was like the Olympics or something, okay?” She added: “And it was tough. But then I also went to China for 1 month, and trained for hours a day, 5 days a week. So LOTS of training. But then when I came back, and we filmed it, and the fight scene, I knew it was incredible.”
