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.

Some of the craziest people Ive met, in my life, are some of the most brilliant people Ive met.

I get recognized so much. It happens mostly when Im in Starbucks.

I find that in the science fiction world, you have almost more women fans than male fans and I think it's because there's been such a shortage of strong female characters.

If you're going to play strength, you've got to marry that with a vulnerability and give your character some relatable qualities.

I was always inspired by Sigourney [Weaver]. She's been able to have such beautiful diversity in her career and that's a really impressive thing.

I am definitely a lot more girly that the characters that I play.
