I want to be completely honest, I have to say that I love the intimacy of the camera.

We don't have props or jewelery. You always want something tangible to play with, and we have nothing. I find myself playing with my hands off camera, just because I'm getting a little uncomfortable with the space.

I still want to get some empathy from the audience, even though she's pathetic.

The performances make you want to get back out there and try something new and challenge yourself.

I've done a lot of sci-fi, so I was a little hesitant because you get pigeonholed into that genre and world. But at the same time, I love sci-fi because the women are so strong and independent and smart.

I started doing martial arts when I was about 7, and I got my second degree black belt when I was 19. So I have my second degree black belt, but I've never used it and I had to stop when I got "Instant Star" because I couldn't train.
