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.

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

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

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.

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.

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