I love playing these characters that are crazy tough, though. Because I am not in real life. Not at all.

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.

Science fiction fans are awesome, they love you so much that they'll watch anything you do, even if it's complete crap. I never dreamed that I would go to conventions and sit down and have coffee with a Klingon. It's so weird, but it's my life.

I do believe that there is something at the core of protecting your offspring - the love of a mother, you just don't get in the way of it.

My mom has always said that you don't know what love is until you've had a child.

My dad always said that hard work beats talent when talent doesnt work hard enough.

I famously had a huge television producer say to me one time, 'Can you please stop doing that to your face? It's very distracting and unattractive.' And I was like, 'You mean move it? Okay, sorry, I guess we're not going to work together.'
