Literally since I could walk... I was performing.
Comic-Con is overwhelming when you have such a long day of press schedules.
When I was a dancer, I felt this great sense of knowing my body and being in my body, and I think it's really easy as women to lose that and not really be one and loving it.
I think it's very rare that you see girl friendships on television. It's always cattiness and all that drama.
I wanted to be a dancer my whole life. And when I gave it up to act, I always had a really sad part of myself that missed it and missed performing and missed being physical in that way.
Guys need to know when to take charge.
I love 'Breaking Bad.' I think that's my favorite show.
It's really hard to meet good women in Hollywood.
I loved Jen Garner in Alias. I think there are similarities, but we're definitely a very different show [Nikita]. I think it's cool to have women who are strong, kicking some ass.
The best relationships are when you both want to make each other happy - you buy the groceries, I do the dishes.
When a man leaves you notes saying he loves you, or asks how your day was - and then listens - you feel special.
The best thing about the Nikita show is that there's so many layers. Even after the pilot, the next four have a twist. Don't think that you've seen it all or that you know it now, and that it's not going to have any more surprises. There's a surprise in every episode, so it's a lot to keep track of.
Women tend to take care of men a lot, but I like a guy who balances that out and takes care of me, too.
Pilates is my favorite meditative way to get in shape. I don't like the gym and I don't like running, so I just lay on my Pilates reformer. It's great.
