Whether it goes to series or stands by itself, I'm proud of what we did with it, not only from the standpoint of what it could have been, but for itself.

I dig science fiction, though it was never really my thing.

A comic can be aesthetically beautiful. I think they captured it beautifully and accurately.

Yancy is actually a Native-American name, but I'm Irish. Go figure.

People just kind of associate me with kicking some ass.

I've always played strong women who are doing their own thing.

My father used to sing to me in my mother's womb. I think I can name about any tune in two beats.

To say I'm the easiest person to live with would be a lie.

I'm just an actress. They try to give me as little information as possible.

I think sometimes women who are supposed to be strong are also written as mean and vindictive.

Whether it goes to series or stands by itself, I'm proud of what we did with it, not only from the standpoint of what it could have been, but for itself.

My taste in music and entertainment is quite eclectic.

My mother's side of the family was in the production side of theatre. My grandfather, Jose Vega, was a general manager for Neil Simon shows on Broadway.

Don't we all just really try to fake it well?

I'm open to sci-fi, but I was never a diehard fan. I have no idea why it keeps following me. I'm extremely lucky, I guess; it's a lucrative venue.

I think seeing some of the past can be helpful, especially if you're into crime solving.

Imagine if it happened to you: All of a sudden you find this thing on your wrist and people are telling you it has powers. I would be a little skeptical myself.

I hope I don't just sit around moping for two years.

Once you get into a part, and someone sees you, you get asked to do it again.

I'll try anything once.

I grew up in Greenwich Village. Dad was friends with John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

I'm the oldest 26-year-old I know. A lot of experience has been crammed into a short amount of time. Some days I feel a good 65, 70. Like I want to lie down.

Women have been kicking ass for centuries.

My junior high was dreadful. I see a lot of my fellow alumni on America's Most Wanted.

My grandfather was a cop in Long Island. I often try to draw on things that I've heard about him.

I pretty much make time for that weekly manicure.

I am so happy to be on a show with writing I wanted to participate in.

I love old movies. The '40s theatre pace is fantastic.

I had to skydive for the movie and I was terrified. Like everybody, I thought it was going to be one of those experiences that changes your life. It didn't.

I've spent a lot of time and money trying to keep my anger in control.

I never worked less than 16-hour days on South Beach.

I can be extremely vulnerable. People are tough on me because they think I can handle it.

Talk about dance Dance is not something to talk about. Dance is to dance.

When I have a terrible need of - shall I say the word - religion. Then I go out and paint the stars.

I came up around people who took acting seriously, who cared about acting, cared about the theater and, in the '70s, made movies that said something that mattered. I came up with those people, and I was a kid. Their ethos and credo became mine.

Laughter is regional: a smile extends over the whole face.

If I upset some notions and went against established rules, that wasn't part of what I wanted to do. It wasn't my goal.

Whatever kind of introvert you are, some people will find you 'too much' in some ways and 'not enough' in others.

I've always found boxing to be an incredibly pure sport. The level of character of most fighters I find very high. And it's just the best workout you can get.

Our planet's lands and oceans are already stretched to meet the demands of 7 billion people. The human population continues to grow. The search for sustainable solutions is an economic and a moral imperative if we are to create the future we want.

I tend to write my beginnings and endings first - as a cartoonist and storyteller, I couldn't sit down every day if I didn't know where the story was headed.

If I could get bands to come and play in my house, I'd like that.

I got cast on 'MADtv' as one of eight permanent cast members chosen from 8,000 comics who'd been screened. For any comic trying to make something of themselves, that was like hitting triple 7s-jackpot.
