I'm the type of person who feels I have to prove myself first.

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

I hope that my work makes a difference because I think that's why I do it.

In film and television you have to be able to see the whole picture in a different way than you do on the stage because you shoot out of order and you're working with technology.

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.

When you think about going back to the States you start to become more aware of the violence there and how we pollute the Earth more than the New Zealanders.

Actually I have to say when I'm acting, I try not to think about directing at all.
