The moment where I realized how little I actually was, was when Dave Bautista picked me off the ground and I still wasn't even at his pec yet. I was like, "Oh my God, this man is massive."

A lot of shows fly under the radar for the first couple seasons and then become successful. It doesn't necessarily have any bearing on the success of the show or how much the network is behind it.

There's a little bit of me in all of the characters I've played. I've never really had the opportunity to play something that's a complete departure from me.

I'm kind of used to being around guys on set, and I grew up with a brother who treated me like I was a boy.

I am tired of women playing action heroes like men, because they are not men. But sometimes they are written like men.

I'm more of a thriller-horror fan - things that could really happen. I don't like scary movies, the 'Saw' movies scare the crap out of me - I think I've seen two of them and I wanted to go crawl in a hole.

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.
