Honestly, as an actor, all I need to know, the way I kind of look at a scene, is like a puzzle. There are certain puzzle pieces that are bigger than others, and all I need to know is if this is going to fit here to make this part of the puzzle work.

I'm a girl in boy's clothing. I like to get a little rough. I prefer mud to makeup. That's me in a nutshell.

I feel that as the world becomes more and more multicultural, it's a good tool to be able to speak another language.

I can take a newspaper and make it a lethal weapon.

I'm a wife and a mother. I don't want to be immature; I have to be ready at all times.

I'm used to a lot of love scenes. I'm used to something that requires me to kick up my heels and wink-wink, flirt-flirt with a twirl of my skirt.

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