Almost every Marine I've met says I portray a Marine dead-on, which is really, really flattering.

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

I've been playing a lot of really strong, able woman, but I think it would be really fun to play a crazy drug addict, or something.

I get letters from kids, teenagers and young girls who just want to be Mac. I've had quite a few people actually say that they're going to become a Marine or a JAG lawyer because of me... the character. I think that's pretty cool!

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

I understand men much better than most women I know.
