The sci-fi fans, in general, do support me, which I love them for. They're great fans.

In terms of acting, we go through phases of being really inspired by film and television and actors and works that we've read.

We don't have props or jewelery. You always want something tangible to play with, and we have nothing. I find myself playing with my hands off camera, just because I'm getting a little uncomfortable with the space.

I did it once in high school - I was Sandy in Grease - and I decided then that I would never do it again. I've felt that way for years, and that's no bullshit.

I'm a bit of a feminist and very female empowerment, and women should be able to do what they please.

I never want to play a character that's one-dimensional.

I do just love the characters in sci-fi, but not necessarily the fact that it's sci-fi.

Working with them was a great experience. Victor Garber, Stephen McHattie and Ray Liotta - they were all bang-up.

I'm thrilled to be in sci-fi because they write the women very strong, and you don't often get that on television.

I think reading the novels definitely was a good source for me to study from.

As an actor, throughout three years, I've become more comfortable within my own skin and confident.

Originally, when I got the role of Lisa [from Visitors], I was a little concerned, because I was worried I would be typecast as an alien for the rest of my life. But they are so, so different that it wasn't at all a problem. I'm very lucky. I'm blessed to be on another show. I think it's going to do really well.

I started doing martial arts when I was about 7, and I got my second degree black belt when I was 19. So I have my second degree black belt, but I've never used it and I had to stop when I got Instant Star because I couldn't train.

The performances make you want to get back out there and try something new and challenge yourself.
