As artists, you always want to push yourself. There's always new territory.

I'm always interested in are stories that challenge people.

Young women are now looking at me for cues. That's definitely been a responsibility. But I feel like I was ready to take on something like this because I wanted to be challenged and I wanted to be afraid, and that's definitely what it's done for me.

Dance has always been a really important thing for me, so being able to physically express the characters through music and dance is like another layer to things.

I've worked on shows where the lead actor doesn't know their lines, doesn't care, and it affects everybody - the crew, the director, the other actors. It's definitely a responsibility.

Going back is a nice way to give definition to each of the characters because they are so vastly different. I would never want them to get blended together.

It's the reason we go to films and watch television: to escape the mundane nature of life and see another world and see ourselves in that other world. I think that's what sci-fi does so well.
