Those darker sides, the things that we don't want to admit about ourselves - that's what excites me.

All the foundation work you plant in the early seasons pay off in stronger storylines deep into our seasons. I think that only aids in performance.

I love people, watching people interact. It's a lot of psychology. We learn about ourselves by watching other people's lives on the screen.

I fell in love with 'Star Trek' after J. J. Abrams's movie. I'm so into that.

You learn from the actors that you're working with. I've taken a lot from all of them.

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.

There's something about music that makes me feel like a different person, that feels like an escape.
