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'm thrilled to be in sci-fi because they write the women very strong, and you don't often get that on television.

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 did it once in high school - I was Sandy in Grease - and I decided then that I would never do it again. I've felt that way for years, and that's no bullshit.

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.

As a person, you want to feel like you're giving back. That's something I've always enjoyed doing.
