I think they went with the idea that people know the story pretty much- knowing that he's going to take her when she's going to go with him. Also, the movie is really focused on Achilles and Hector and their battles.

My sport is biking. I'm not much of a gym person, but I like being outside - hiking, canoeing, camping.

Well, I don't know anything about television. I'd never done it before. Initially, it was quite daunting to take on so much challenge and so much time with it. I think it is a great outlet for an actress because you really have 13 hours to bring a character to life, which is so much more than with film, and you have the luxury of time to tell a story and to really color a character.

I feel vulnerable sometimes - when I see an emotional scene, for example - and I remember what it took to get to that place, and I fear sometimes that everybody else can see that. You bare a part of you that makes you uncomfortable. I freely give it, I know, but I feel like people know something about me that I wouldn't otherwise give freely to a stranger.

I have three goddaughters - I'm not sure why they trust me, because I have no experience with children - but I try.

I don't want to live my life in a five-star hotel. That's not real life to me. You can't appreciate it.

I feel as if sometimes women can't deal with what's going on and they have no one around who actually understands.
