A lot of people think that reptiles don't feel, and they do. I think everyone should keep in mind what it is they are buying and if it is really worth it to them.
I still want to do a romantic comedy or a western or a gritty independent film... there's so much that I still want to do.
I grew up doing martial arts, and I'm a second-degree black belt.
I don't know what it is about me. I don't know if there's something strange... but I continue to play aliens, so there's obviously something there.
I don't necessarily want to know what people are saying when I'm not around, especially if it's about me. I just don't need to hear extra garbage.
I always do my own stunts, as much as possible. I'm a little stubborn about it.
I've played such serious characters that no one sees me the way I actually am, which is completely cheesy and goofy, so it would be fun to do a romantic comedy and just have a good laugh.
I've done a lot of sci-fi, so I was a little hesitant because you get pigeonholed into that genre and world. But at the same time, I love sci-fi because the women are so strong and independent and smart.
I do just love the characters in sci-fi, but not necessarily the fact that it's sci-fi.
I think reading the novels definitely was a good source for me to study from.
The sci-fi fans, in general, do support me, which I love them for. They're great fans.
I'm thrilled to be in sci-fi because they write the women very strong, and you don't often get that on television.
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.
They say you get nauseous in a green screen room, but I haven't yet. It's a little odd playing pretend with props and monitors that we're supposed to be watching, but I'll get used to it.
