I'm definitely leading a much slower life now that I'm not working every single day on a television series.

I'm always the one who gets killed. And I want it to be really gory. Body parts all over the place. Mangled!

I would tell any actress that the trick is to play all the female characters on your show, and then all the men are yours.

I never worked out for any kind of image.

It's been hard to be a show in L.A. and be trendsetting, because the fashions are in New York... Not to mention that most actresses are all, give or take, the same size, between five-two and five-five, and 95 to 125 pounds.

But there are still only certain film genres where a woman can stand out, be heroic, be the centerpiece.

My family comes first, and you have to be in charge to be able to protect that. You have to be the one who says no or you don't have a life, which is what I found out the first time.
