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.

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.

For breakfast, I always have eggs - whole eggs. I think the fats are really important. I also like turkey bacon and really hearty whole-grain bread. I'm very picky about it. You need bread that's high in fiber and low in carbs. It's hard to find, but it's worth it.

When I was little, I had a feeling that I was going to end up being an actress. I spent a lot of time alone, I was a very shy girl, and I would pretend I was telling someone about this new role that I got.

Just because no one has been fortunate enough to realize how wonderful you are, doesnt mean you shine any less.

I still dance, probably three times a week, unless I'm working on a crazy job, and then I just don't have any free time at all.

Over the years, I have been fortunate to get to play a lot of really kick-ass girls.
