Literally since I could walk... I was performing.

When 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.

I think it's very rare that you see girl friendships on television. It's always cattiness and all that drama.

If 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.

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.

Guys need to know when to take charge.

The 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.
