Most people don't go to work and beat up a 13-year-old. It's a really freaky thing.

I like to think that I'm a really strong, tough person, but I'm not. I'm a very, very needy person. I'm very insecure. I'm very impressionable. But, there is a side of me that is very put-together, very strong, very capable and very opinionated. It's the two sides of myself.

I think that I am lucky and blessed to have the job that I have. I'm trying to create longevity. If that means that I transition and do different things at different points in my life, then that's fine.

I was addicted to the original 'Star Trek' when I was growing up, because of my dad. We grew up in St. Helens, Oregon and we weren't allowed to watch a lot of TV.

Im a bit insane when it comes to doing my own stunts and getting down and dirty. Its fun, you know? Its things I wouldnt normally do in my real life, so when I go to work and get to beat people up and shoot guns and get waterboarded, those are things I find completely interesting.

The only way that a mother would go after her own children is if she's just completely gone and has no humanity.

When you take on a TV show, you give trust to people that you really just met.
