I loved Jen Garner in Alias. I think there are similarities, but we're definitely a very different show [Nikita]. I think it's cool to have women who are strong, kicking some ass.
Lyndsy FonsecaWill it/won't it be back kind of game is never fun but I've been doing it for over 10 years and it's the name of the game really. As an actress, you never know what next year's going to bring, whether you're doing films or seasons for TV. It's just the way it is. You can let it drive you crazy, or you cannot. I choose not to let it bother me too much and just always hope for the best.
Lyndsy FonsecaI wanted to be a dancer my whole life. And when I gave it up to act, I always had a really sad part of myself that missed it and missed performing and missed being physical in that way.
Lyndsy FonsecaWomen tend to take care of men a lot, but I like a guy who balances that out and takes care of me, too.
Lyndsy FonsecaPilates is my favorite meditative way to get in shape. I don't like the gym and I don't like running, so I just lay on my Pilates reformer. It's great.
Lyndsy FonsecaI'm very bubbly, so when people meet me, they sometimes think I'm fake. I'm excited to meet new people, but I guess I sound I'm being sarcastic.
Lyndsy FonsecaThe best relationships are when you both want to make each other happy - you buy the groceries, I do the dishes.
Lyndsy FonsecaIf we do change anything, we always talk about it beforehand. It's not really fair to throw things at the director on the day, unless it's a small note such as re-phrasing something. But if it's large, we always talk to the director. But we seldom do that out of respect for the writers because, for the most part, they do such a great job.
Lyndsy FonsecaWhen I was a dancer, I felt this great sense of knowing my body and being in my body, and I think it's really easy as women to lose that and not really be one and loving it.
Lyndsy FonsecaThe best thing about the Nikita show is that there's so many layers. Even after the pilot, the next four have a twist. Don't think that you've seen it all or that you know it now, and that it's not going to have any more surprises. There's a surprise in every episode, so it's a lot to keep track of.
