I'd rather play a character that was really, really different to me as to someone who is quite close to my character.

I like a funny girl. Smart. Talented. I like someone who is good at music - that always intrigues me.

I'm a little bit of a geek - I have to be the first person to get new things when they come out. I always want to buy and try new gadgets.

I took the original stuff that I read as standalone [in The Flash]. I didn't have anything to refer to, so to me it was all new. It's delightfully simple, the show, but it has many moving parts. It certainly makes you pay attention.

Going online and asking questions is the best way to learn.

I confess, I'm not the biggest fan of Twilight.

I like me Italian girls; half Halle Berry, half Penelope Cruz sort of thing!
