I think it's so important as an actor that you hang on to your own inner compass, because so many people want to guide you - 'This is what you should you be doing'. But I want to do different things.

Doing the same thing day in, day out. It's just so boring. I like to jump from different things.

I toned down my accent at school; otherwise, people would pick on me.

I adore water, so it would be a real adventure to visit the Amazon before they chop down all the trees.

'Bionic Woman' really enriched my career. It was a big, amazing thing to do.

Soaps are a great springboard for any actor but if you want to be taken seriously, you have to be careful.

There's such a huge world out there; I haven't even begun to scratch the surface.
