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

Actors who say they don't watch TV are stupid. I was raised by TV! And it's how I research for auditions.

I'm such a fan girl when it comes to movies, TV and sci-fi, sometimes I can't believe I actually get to be in them.

When I first got the job, I was told nothing about my character. She's an anthropologist and she's tough, she's a female Indiana Jones. That's what I went into [Lost] knowing.

When I got 'Lost,' I was about to not be able to live, so it was a fall-to-the-knees, burst-into-tears, 'I'm saved by this great role' moment.

My first car was in 2006 when I got on my first TV show - a BMW 328i2 four-door sedan in slate grey. That was a great day, that was.
