Sitcom hours are silly easy compared to drama. Whenever an actor on a sitcom complains, I feel like smacking them!

I am inspired when I see goodness in other people.

Burn Notice' is a show that definitely has some levity to it and it's a fun show, but it's also, you fully believe, you're fully invested that Michael Westen does this stuff. You want Michael Westen on your team.

I'm happy that I have agents and managers that believe in me.

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 have always been physically active. I grew up a tomboy and [was] into sports, so staying active is something that I enjoy. I get antsy and annoyed if I am sedentary too long. I mix up exercise - yoga, Pilates, hiking, running, and weights. I also eat well. I do not eat meat or poultry - have not since I was eighteen.

The most important thing, when playing characters with chemistry, is being able to work off the other actor and be supported.

Image
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.

Chemistry is a hard thing. I don't think you can force it, and it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to have great chemistry outside of work. It's just something that sparks on screen or doesn't.

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

I've never gone for the smooth, suave Latin or French lover. That usually makes me think they're trying to pull one over on me.

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.

As an actor, if I just did sci-fi, I think it would get limiting, like if you just play lawyers or doctors, over and over. It's a lot more fun, if you get to play lots of different types of characters.

I've been living, I've lived in New York since I was 18 years old and traveled pretty much all over the world.

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

For me, relaxing is going on a 10-mile hike. When I have time off, I like to be at home and spend time with my animals, and things like that.I'm not the girl that goes out for facials, and manicures and pedicures, all the time. I wish I did. It would be better for me, but I get annoyed.

I just want to be challenged. I want to be proud of what I do, and I want to learn new things and keep growing.

You just have to be persistent. I think that's one of the biggest things about the model industry and this career is being persistent and believing in yourself and also being ready when the timing is right. So much of it is about timing and luck, so to be ready when you get the opportunity.

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