phones lines phone-calls
It's rare to work on a series without a writer. If you have a question about a line, then phone calls have to be made.
character mean two
The danger with playing someone tough is that the character can become two-dimensional and mean and nobody likes her.
mean hair lucky-charms
I'm not Irish. Just because I have red hair doesn't mean I'm a lucky charm, you know?
bmw tv-shows doors
My first car was in 2006 when I got on my first TV show - a BMW 328i2 four-door sedan in slate grey. That was a great day, that was.
jobs character knowing
When I first got the job, I was told nothing about my character. She's an anthropologist and she's tough, she's a female Indiana Jones. That's what I went into [Lost] knowing.
fall tears knees
When I got 'Lost,' I was about to not be able to live, so it was a fall-to-the-knees, burst-into-tears, 'I'm saved by this great role' moment.
dad thank-god body
I'm just naturally quite toned. My dad was like a body builder, so I've got my dad's body. Not all of it, thank God.
cheesy happy-endings
I'm incredibly cheesy. I'm all about happy endings and all of that.
jobs tea cartoon
I've always wanted to do an adult cartoon, because I want a job where you can just drive up in your pajamas, have a cup of tea and not even get dressed, and you've gone to work for the day. What a great gig!
hate actors tvs
You know I hate watching myself on TV, I know a lot of actors say that, but it's true for me.
night long different
I do accents. Sometimes when I've had a few drinks, I speak in different accents all night long, and then at the end of an evening someone will say to me, 'Seriously, where are you from?'
years people wonderful
For people to come to you and say, 'Would you like to be a part of our show?' after years of 'Please tell me I'm good enough,'... I can't tell you how wonderful it feels.
