The best part? Probably being able to portray such a respectable, ethical, intelligent, strong woman. That's still pretty rare in our business, unfortunately.

I've always thought of myself as a businesswoman. I have the creative side, but I also have this business sense.

Creating my own roles, as an actor, is great. You're so at the mercy of other people, and you're waiting for a job. That's just a horrible way to live, so I just decided to take matters into my own hands, find my own projects, and create them myself, and then do other stuff that people might throw my way as well.

The main prank that we play with props is for people's birthdays. The special effects people will put a little explosive in the cake so it blows up in their face - that's always fun to play on a guest star, or one of the trainees or someone who's new.

I love to go bungee jumping, jump out of planes, ride motorbikes, do kickboxing. I love all that stuff.

I like all the adventure sports but I like to do them in a safe way.

I didn't figure out the makeup or cute hair or clothes until oh, maybe my junior year of high school.
