goofy rarely since women
Ever since I started doing television, I tended to get cast, for the most part, as these strong, intelligent women... Which is wonderful, but very rarely do I get to be the goofy girl that I am.
I've always found that sci-fi fans are unbelievably generous.
I got roped into Twitter. I actually quite enjoy it! But I don't go on as often as some.
crawling love
I love acting... I really do. I love crawling into another character's skin. That's something that I've always, always, always, always wanted.
amount blown fans fund money time
Every time I've done a fund raiser, I've been blown away by the amount of money and the generosity that our fans have.
character actors exciting
That is exciting to reinvent myself, to invent a new character. As an actor that is revitalizing.
sexy smart sexy-women
I like playing smart, savvy, sexy women -- because it's so not me!
passion way conviction
Don't let anyone tell you no. Do it with conviction, do it with passion, and you'll find a way
along comedy lines sketch television time women
Comedy is really my passion. I started out way before television doing sketch comedy with other women. Very much along the lines of, at the time it was 'Sensible Footwear', but now it's 'Smack The Pony', 'French And Saunders', that kind of thing. That's how I started out.
