Ten episodes goes by really quickly, especially when you've got a really tough shooting schedule of seven-day episodes.

My husband says I like animals more than I like people. I take that as the compliment he means it as.

Work hard, play fair, be kind to all living creatures, and take a moment to just sit back and breathe.

It's not hard to draw from within yourself to play someone protective of her daughter. I have animals and I'm a daughter, sister, wife, aunt and friend, and I can be fiercely protective.

I think sometimes the hardest obstacle is yourself. I can certainly be my own worst critic and oftentimes forget to enjoy the here and now. Physically, the hardest obstacle I have overcome was severe back issues. [This] resulted in finally getting surgery to replace four discs, which changed my life back to active - which is how I am happiest.

I'm not very good at resting on my laurels. I am a bit of a workaholic, and I like to keep busy and active, so I think that's what drives me.

I lump Canada and the States together. I like good old North American boys.
