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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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 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.

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