I was always the kid on scholarship, I was a soloist with my company, I'd been working with the symphony since I was 14.

I love it if a man makes an effort to get to know my parents and sisters. Getting to know the people who matter to me goes a long way.

Sometimes when I get home after a long day, I'll turn on music - I love Latin, disco, and pop - and do my own workout, even if it's a short one. Know a good song to work out to? 'I Will Survive.

I always look for roles that make me feel good about being a girl. I have to say that there are a lot of roles out there that make me feel really bad about being a girl. You can imagine what the things are and I shall not go into detail.

I'm very physical. It's an important part of being a woman - feeling good about yourself and really being in tune with your personality.

I've done other things, but it always seems like my sci-fi projects have been what people respond to the most, because those fans are extraordinary, so passionate.

When I stopped doing ballet, I started training in the pool. I would do my barre exercises in the water, because that prevents injuries.
