If I don't take care of myself and be kind to myself, then I can't take care of anyone else.

I find that if I use my time well and take care of my mind/body when I'm outside of work, then I feel more supported throughout my day.

I was really active as a kid. I was outdoors constantly.

If something boils up under stress later, I remind myself to breathe and focus back to how I decided my day was going to go. It's simple but it works.

It's important for me to play women who can overcome adversity, make change, and take control of their lives. I think it's a great time for women in TV and film in general, and I want to help tell these stories.

Passion. Confidence. Gratitude. The possibility of making positive change in the world. It's the sort of "spark" one gets the moment they decide to go after what they want, really fight for it, work hard, and not give up. I love that spark; it's beautifully contagious.

It's so weird, not knowing what your life is going to be. I'm being optimistic. And when 'Leverage' comes to an end, I have lots of ideas for other things. You can't really sit and wait for things to come to you.
