I was totally inspired by Mack.

It was like, How are you doing this?

How is it possible that youre not completely breaking down?

Hamilton wasnt the only proud one.

[Laughs] And Linda was the only one of us who wouldnt crack.

Hamilton didnt crack, but there were times she questioned herself.

It had a lot of ups and downs.

It was a bit daunting because of the legend.

Well, its been 28 years, kids!

That doesnt really happen at my age without hormones, she jokes.

I couldnt get the muscle mass that matchedT2.

In terms of what we built, it went far beyond my wildest dreams.

She laughs, then adds, That doesnt mean I want to go and do another one.

Once is probably enough.

Its enough, unless it comes to showering your costar with affection.

Terminator: Dark Fate, which also stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Natalia Reyes, opens Nov. 1.
