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