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.

I think my uncle was probably the biggest influence in my life. We grew up in the same house, and he was just a really great, hard-working, honest, ethical person.

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

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

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

I love cold, rainy weather.

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.
