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

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'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.

There was a little part of me that always felt like I was going to be an actress, but I never acted when I was growing up. I was a dancer. That's all I did, all day, all my life. Maybe this was just where I was meant to be, and somehow I ended up here, but it just felt right. As soon as I started acting, it just felt like it was meant to be.

Lying about anything is the cruelest thing in the world you could ever do. Be who you are. Don't try to be someone you're not. It never works.

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

As I've gotten older, I've come to realize how important it is to vary your workouts.
