All the pictures in magazines and all of that is fun but in the end it's all about your soul and who you are and have you connected with the people.

Filmmaking in general is just really where I'm putting all of my energy.

Like when you go to a magic show and you know how they do the illusions. That's how I am when I watch any movies where they have people flying through the air.

But it just comes down to trying to get the work out there and however the team fits together then that's the way it sort of plays into itself.

I believe over the last six years now, I've been learning in between actual acting moments on the show.

I've grown so much as a person through playing Gabrielle, much less living in New Zealand and being with all of these people that I can't imagine my life being any different.

I think you have to have different tools for each job - you know producer is very different from a director and very different from an actor.
