I hate girls who complain, 'Oh, guys are looking at me!' But I love it when guys check me out. It just feels great.

I'm attracted to playing characters that have flaws.

I actually got more attention from one episode of 'The Sopranos' than I did from two years of 'The L Word.'

I saw Madeleine Stowe from Revenge recently, and she totally blew me away. And growing up I loved Morticia Addams and Lily Munster on one hand, and Jeannie from I Dream of Jeannie on the other. Two completely different ends of the spectrum, kind of like me.

My great-great-grandfather was a shah back in the 1800s. Unfortunately, I don't have any gold coins or jewels to show for it.

So my views on equality are pretty obvious. I mean I did play a highly complex lesbian techno DJ on TV, but I know it's not always easy to come out and tell the world where you stand.

It's fun to work on location because you get the look and feel of everything, but it's nice to be on a stage because you can control the elements.
