“I'm more of a thriller-horror fan - things that could really happen. I don't like scary movies, the 'Saw' movies scare the crap out of me - I think I've seen two of them and I wanted to go crawl in a hole.”
“The sad thing is, I never wanted to be Princess Leia - I always wanted to be Han Solo!”
“I grew up in Oregon so I grew up around reservations, so I've always kind of had this knowledge. Not a tremendous amount of knowledge, but an outsider's knowledge of what reservation life was like.”
“'Star Wars' meant everything to me growing up.”
“There's a darkness to Riddick that I think allows people to want him to do bad things because you know Riddick is going to do bad things: that's just the way it is. But I think that at his core, who he is and what he's fighting for is something that everybody can identify with.”
“I love to run, and I actually run quite a bit.”
“Science fiction fans are awesome - they love you so much that they'll watch anything you do, even if it's complete crap. I never dreamed that I would go to conventions and sit down and have coffee with a Klingon. It's so weird, but it's my life.”
“I've got my Peabody and my Saturn awards right next to each other on my mantle, and that is about it, and that is all that matters.”
“I don't watch a lot of TV.”
“I read YA novels constantly, so I really want to be in a young adult rom-com, but I worry that I'm aging into the parent role, which is a little scary.”
“I am a daddy's girl at heart, even though I'm in my 30s.”
“The work environment on 'Battlestar Galactica' is unbelievable, and it's something that doesn't come along very often.”
“It's a very, very rare moment when another actor hurts you. That's not normal. If anything, it's the actor accidentally punching the stunt double, which happens quite a bit.”
“It's weird to me to see how different everyone's opinion of beauty is.”
“'Star Wars' was, I mean, it was the first time I remember seeing three movies that all kind of went together. It was just an amazing final understanding of what a trilogy was.”
“I've never really had the opportunity to play something that's a complete departure from me yet.”
“I love playing these characters that are crazy tough, though. Because I am not in real life. Not at all.”
“It's kind of nice to play somebody that isn't psychotic or half-machine or dead or dying or on a spaceship somewhere.”
“I think when you're doing good work, you don't necessarily need to be validated.”
“I think that what made people accept Starbuck as a woman was that she was just such an interesting character. I think that once people put their guard down and their preconceived notions of what the show is supposed to be and just allowed it to really be good science fiction.”
