I tend to look for a great script.

I was always an actress, even as a little kid, and fantasy, horror, sci-fi stories are really all about playing make believe. I just never grew out of that.

Marg Helgenberger and I were waitresses in the same restaurant in Evanston, Illinois. I'm happy to say that that restaurant has since been torn down. [...] We both had an audition for ABC soaps - different soaps, but we auditioned at the same time, and she got the part and went off to New York. Three years later, I went to L.A. So she was kind of an inspiration to me. And it makes sense that we will both be in Wonder Woman together, because we ARE Wonder Women.

I always tell actors, "Don't think of it as unemployment when you don't have a job. You have to think of it as being in preparation for your next job." You have to be always preparing for success.

The actor side of me loves to get dressed up and I feel like Cinderella when I'm in diamonds.

You cannot believe how hard it is to try and raise money for a film. I did it for six years and it was such a failure.

I have good genes. My father is Danish and my mother is Irish and Native American. They both have good skin.
