“I was such a tomboy as a kid, and I'm a dancer.”

“I was a diehard fan of '24' since the beginning. But being on the show, there was stuff I never thought about as a viewer, like, wow, it's going to be a single day for 10 months out of your life - you have to look exactly the same every day.”

“It's always fun to come in and mix up a show that's been on for awhile.”

“The first time I made a mold of my vampire teeth, I took pictures of that.”

“I was a fan as well, and I knew it would be a difficult task to come into '24.'”

“I definitely love to work, and I'm loving being a mommy, so I'd like to try to balance both.”

“'Bosch' itself - it has a huge fanbase already from the Michael Connelly books, so it was definitely intriguing because you know going in that there's all those people who will want to watch it, and I knew it was going to be a down-and-dirty, gritty, no-make-up part, so that was scary and yet so exciting.”

“I knew I'd love being a mom, but it's so much cooler than I even thought it would be.”

“'24' is such a unique show. I've done a lot of television, but the real-time aspect - where we're shooting over 10 months and actually only doing one day - it's just crazy.”

“I went to a really small school, and it had a really small theater department. They didn't talk about Broadway. I learned about it through watching the Tony Awards.”

“The standard that '24' is held to is higher than at other shows. A weaker episode of '24' would be an amazing episode for a lot of other shows.”

“Luckily with '24,' for the most part, each moment is so intense, and your objective is all about that moment right then.”

“My father was sick when I was little, and we had a woman, a nanny-type, who was from Ireland. Her daughter was in Irish dancing, so she put me in it, and in the summertime, every weekend was filled with traveling somewhere to dance in competitions.”

“I'm always taking behind-the-scenes photos and stuff.”

“Portugal has amazing seafood with all the eyeballs staring back at you.”

“'Bosch' was a really cool experience.”

“It's been a pretty amazing experience, getting to go from 'Bosch' to 'The Vampire Diaries' back-to-back, with a little 'Castle' in between.”

“My parents went to Italy a lot, but I didn't go with them. I can't believe that!”

“A huge part of Irish dance is balance, which is so good for any kind of combat - just being aware of your body.”

“As an actor, I know roles go away. You get another job.”
