I don't take myself that seriously, I'm taking the piss out of myself. I can't really beat up guys, it's fun!

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.'

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

The first movie my dad ever showed me was Predator - I was five. And I think the second one was Jaws. I've has this understanding of fiction for a very, very long time but I've also had this thing where I've idolized the male action heroes because that's what I watched with my dad.

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

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

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.
