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

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.

I love science fiction stuff - I'm a bit of a dweeb like that.

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.

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

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