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.

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 do just love the characters in sci-fi, but not necessarily the fact that it's sci-fi.

I think reading the novels definitely was a good source for me to study from.

In terms of acting, we go through phases of being really inspired by film and television and actors and works that we've read.

Hollywood is something imagined ...acting is something crafted.
