I never was really into comics as a child, and I think if you miss the boat when you're a kid, you don't necessarily pick up on it when you're an adult.

If you watch the show and the characters don't look at each other while they're talking, the actors probably aren't getting along.

There are a lot of other things in this world that can and will bring me joy. Acting is one of them.

We don't move on in the stunt unless it looks like a hit. So when I see it on TV, I'm generally satisfied that people are going to buy it.

People get on a show and they fought tooth and nail. Almost 95% of the actors out there want to be on a television series. Then as soon as they get onto one, no, no, I want to be a movie star. This television series stuff, no, no no.

You show your vulnerability through relationships, and those feelings are your soft spot. You need to have a soft spot.

In terms of being a role model, I didn't start out to be one. I don't go to work every day with that in mind. But, I do get a lot of fan mail from young girls.

I've been really fortunate to go from series to series to series.

I never was really into comics as a child, and I think if you miss the boat when you're a kid, you don't necessarily pick up on it when you're an adult.

I think I'm a people person. I get very attached to people. And I've become so attached to all the people on my show, the cast, the crew and the producers.

We take the show very seriously, but we don't take ourselves seriously.

My first paying job, when I was 15, I was a day camp counselor.

Women can't be afraid to look like action heroes. It's not always pretty, but when it's on the screen, it translates well to the audience.

In the beginning, people think vulnerability will make you weak, but it does the opposite. It shows you're strong enough to care.

Acting isn't the be-all end-all. There are a lot of other things in my life that will bring me joy if I didn't act anymore.

There are a lot of great actresses out there. You learn to appreciate each one for what they offer.

I competed in track for 10 years and have been doing kickboxing forever.

When you're fighting with a stunt person, your intent is to miss.

I came to acting in a very circuitous way.

I read every script from beginning to end, and I read every draft that I can. I like the show, I like the character, and I want to protect both of those things.

It's part of the job to compensate for outfit.

The most important thing is to just be good at what you do. You do a good job playing the character, and people will be taken up with your character, not your clothes.

It doesn't help anybody to put out a bad script.

Linda Hamilton is my hero. She was so tough and so strong and so vulnerable at the same time. I think that's what woman action figures are allowed to be: vulnerable, in a way that women are.

I approach my character with the question: What would an animal think? How would an animal respond? A lot of times, it's quick action and no fear, and sometimes it's irrational fear. You don't always know.

Cast changes are a hard thing. For two years, we had this little family. We weren't together when these changes were decided upon. It all happened during our hiatus.

That's the thing with sci-fi and action roles. You have to play the danger as real. If you don't, you end up with egg on your face. You have to commit. You can't think about how stupid it might look without the special effects.

When I was in university, my dream was to be a coach, like a high school track coach. Not to teach.

I can't say that I've made the transition to movies.

I think I've paid my dues. I've really put in a lot of time on set.

I did a lot of stunts, so the harness work isn't foreign to me either.

I desperately want a dog, but I've been told I travel too much, and I'm not allowed to have a dog.

It's all about exploring the more unpredictable aspects in the character, not just fighting people.

I would be very happy doing movies. I love to work and I think I'm a little different.

I've been working some really long hours for the last five or six years. Anybody who works on series television knows, and especially women because women spend probably two hours more than the guys with all their hair and makeup crap.

Most women don't play like guys do: they don't wrestle, fight, get into brawls. They don't know how to express themselves in a physical, active way.

Gratitude bestows reverence allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies.

One of the first things electric I ever saw was a guitar. I was living in a house with no electricity until, at 7, we moved to a house that had it. It had electric lights, but the previous owners had even taken the light bulbs with them when they moved.

If you do not appreciate every day of your life who said that the days and years will be an asset for the future

One thing about me is I try to be honest.

The mind has its own logic but does not often let others in on it.

At that point, there will be the handover between the shuttle arm and the station arm so that the shuttle arm will take the cradle and put it into the cargo bay.

I owe everything to Nirvana. But I can't let that overshadow the future. For the first few years, I didn't even want to talk about Nirvana. Partly because it was just painful to talk about losing Kurt but also because I wanted the Foo Fighters to mean something.

Everybody, no matter how old you are, is around 24, 25 in their heart.

I am in a fabulously lucky position in that I get to wear beautiful, beautiful gowns for functions, which I can then give back. That way, they're not sitting in my wardrobe with me looking at them and feeling guilty. I love that, and I think when people have a fabulous function to go to, I'd recommend renting.

I think of myself as living so much outside borders or old categories that I choose as my leaders U2, the Dalai Lama, Vaclav Havel, Sigur Ros, Desmond Tutu, Barack Obama, and the girl next door. By definition, in short, my leaders are the ones who think in terms larger, and more intimate, than any country.

The most important career decision you'll make is who your life partner is.

The Libertarian position on the freedom of speech is a strong support of freedom of speech, and we oppose government intervention in controlling what is or is not moral.

In Los Angeles, I feel connected to a hubbub of strangeness. And I enjoy that; I like strangeness.
