I started when I was in college because I was shy and thought it would be a good way to break out of that.

When I do get time, I like to hike and I take lots of vitamins and powders to keep healthy.

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'm still one of the guys and I always will be.

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.

But, people are recognizing me more. Sometimes fans just approach me on the street and say how much they love the show. It's great to get that kind of feedback.

I've always wanted to produce. I've had my production company name for years, even though I didn't really do anything with it right away.
