General Thoughts |
|||
| On her Character | "...I'm your happy estrogen bubble...that's me!" | ||
| Are you anything like your characters? | "Yes,
and no. Yes in that I'm very driven, and I like to think that I'm very
strong, though not as strong as Samantha. I'm not as smart as she is! I
think that I personally have a better sense of humor than Samantha, or
at least I'm allowed to show it more."
"I guess on a personal level, I grew up with three brothers, so it's easy being the only woman with three men. I guess that would be the strongest aspect. And I have a telescope!" |
||
Favourite Episodes: |
Solitudes. Singularity. Just in terms of the challenge for me as an actor. In the Line of Duty. And I guess I would also say that these were episodes that I was fairly heavily in, so that was a challenge. | ||
| Fact | She grew up as a "Little House on the Prairie" fan | ||
