When I first started I was always known as The Girl on the Sitcom with the Funny Voice.

I remember they did all the makeup tests on me for Darla... Sorry, for "the vampire." I was the test monkey for the vampire look, so I went through numerous variations of the prosthetics and camera tests before I actually got the job.

The fans are just as passionate about the projects as we are about making them.

I originally read for the roles of Debra and Rita [in Dexter], because they didn't know what direction they were going in, and I worked so hard on Deb, because I just wanted to swear. I wanted to say all those nasty words. That was it: "I want to swear on television!".

I think [John Larroquette] did a great job. I really do. And he's so wonderful and generous to work with.

[John Larroquette] is very generous as the star of a show. He always made sure that if we had a joke that didn't work or something, he'd fight for the other actors.

You really have to work hard and apply yourself and by applying yourself and working hard and being diligent, you can achieve success.
