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.

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.

Personally, I don't tend to go into casting sessions. I try not to have a preconceived notion in my head because it just reduces my options or ability to find someone cool.

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.

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

You're not just writing in a vacuum, and then handing it over to someone else to shoot. You're writing, and then getting feedback from the actor and hearing their voice and how they play things.

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.
