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

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

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

“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.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

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