You show your vulnerability through relationships, and those feelings are your soft spot. You need to have a soft spot.

If you watch the show and the characters don't look at each other while they're talking, the actors probably aren't getting along.

I read every script from beginning to end, and I read every draft that I can. I like the show, I like the character, and I want to protect both of those things.

It doesn't help anybody to put out a bad script.

In terms of being a role model, I didn't start out to be one. I don't go to work every day with that in mind. But, I do get a lot of fan mail from young girls.

I hate hearing about actors who don't like the show. There are so many actors out there who'd give their right arm for what I'm getting to do.

Cast changes are a hard thing. For two years, we had this little family. We weren't together when these changes were decided upon. It all happened during our hiatus.
