I think that in a general sense, the idea of getting comfortable with the truth in life is uncomfortable.

For me, as an actress, one of the most essential things that I need to know is what do I want for and from the people around me in the story.

We have to get back to the beauty of just being alive in this present moment.

With BSG, sci-fi is the human experience taken beyond the envelope. When I first became involved with the project, I knew that I would be able to play a human being for many years, exploring and reflecting on issues that would impact people's lives.

That moment was very important because it was political. That's what has to be done, so they struck a deal. She figures his is a well-thought-out motivation that she felt was worthy trade-off. The motivation here is survival, and she has to think like a leader.

It's really important for actors to feel that they're more than something for hire.

It is really wonderful for me to understand that there are times in life when your job, and the excellence of your job, requires to not be - have the comfort zone of being popular.
