I like pretty conservative guys, good guys. I always look for the qualities I find in my father.

After doing 'Firefly' and moving on, I always wanted to be part of a series again. I love doing films, too, but there's just something special about being part of the team and feeling like you're actually a part of the family, and I always look to re-create that.

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

There's this certain caliber of dancing I was striving for when I was younger, and it's very hard for me to go back and just do it for fun. But I take all other kinds of classes: I take jazz classes, modern classes, and I love doing that instead of going to the gym. The gym is not very much fun.

I'm definitely one of those actresses who comes to a set knowing how I want to do a scene, and I definitely love input from my directors and my writers. I know that there's some actors who like to be left alone, they like to be very independent, but I actually really enjoy the teamwork.

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.

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