The danger with playing someone tough is that the character can become two-dimensional and mean and nobody likes her.

All I do is watch TV and films, and when I'm not doing that, I'm making them. I need a hobby!

For people to come to you and say, 'Would you like to be a part of our show?' after years of 'Please tell me I'm good enough'... I can't tell you how wonderful it feels.

Without question, dying on 'Lost' was the best thing I have ever done in my entire career.

I'm incredibly cheesy. I'm all about happy endings and all of that.

I'm quadracontinental. I've got a life in London, New York, L.A. and Hawaii.

Sometimes when you walk onto a set, there are very clear delineations. The crew don't talk to the actors and I hate all that. Everyone is the same to me and I always treat everyone in the same way.
