I do a pretty good job at casting actually.

So as long as I'm a working actor, I can improve. I want to work with people that frighten me and excite me, and characters that I don't believe I'm the best person for the part but I'm still gonna try anyway. Those are my favorite roles.

Casting is everything. I put a huge amount of work into casting, and consistently across my career, I am most proud of my bold choices I made in casting.

I'm used to working really hard to get a role. I was always auditioning and talking my way into roles.

I'm trying to show I'm a trained actress - I can transform myself into different characters. I'm not just an ingenue.

I think the type of actor I am, I tend to play strong leading female characters. The shows I've been on happen to be science fiction genre.

My whole drive to be an actor was finding roles that I really believed represent modern women, the struggles that we deal with. Women who are strong and capable and in control of their own lives.

I don't really like to work with actors that work a lot and are very well established already. In a way, I like to nurture talent and have it burst on the scene.

Ever since I started doing television, I tended to get cast, for the most part, as these strong, intelligent women... Which is wonderful, but very rarely do I get to be the goofy girl that I am.

As an actress I take roles I find interesting.
