I never thought that I would be so attracted to television, but I don't think gigs like 'Dexter' come along too often.

When I first got to L.A., I was stretching $20 a week, waiting tables, and I did that for about six months. I didn't mind it at all, I was really happy for that experience, but it made me really get aggressive about what I want. I've been doing this since I was eight, and never considered doing anything else, so I really had to kick it into gear.

I hate to say it because I feel like it might be a jinx, but yes - knock on wood - I have never broken a bone.

I usually spend the hiatus of 'Dexter' in New York in a way to balance things.

I just want to be with great teachers. If that means I'm in a horror film with good teachers, I'll do another horror film. But I would love to branch out and do more comedy or just more straight dramas.

My sister is a chiropractor and she says I have an unusually flexible lower back, but I don't do yoga, and I don't feel like I'm very bendy.
