There are a lot of different sides to me. I don't know if I'm always peaches-and-cream.

My career after 'Life Unexpected' took a really big dip, and I realized you have no control as an actor over the process of going to work.

I've literally pitched to every studio and network trying to get directing work. It's really hard.

I would like to see more of the making of just regular television shows. Like the casting process. I think it's so fascinating to watch the actors come in and see how they discuss everybody afterwards. It's a crazy world that has no rhyme or reason.

It feels nice after a long career as an actor to find your own voice and support that.

Steven Spielberg, Woody Allen, you name it - I'm interested. I'm free. I'm looking for acting work. At the same time, you have to find a role you're right for, and then there's a slew of other actresses. That's why I will pursue more directing. It's like, who needs a boss? I'm right here.

I took my waitress uniform. Seemed fitting.

I've been watching so many movies and they all have to do with the DVDs. It's just so much more convenient.

I find that people are constantly coming up to me now. There's been a definite surge of people recognizing me and I'm not sure if it has to do with the DVDs or not, but I've sort of assumed that it does because the show has been off the air for three years now.

I think from here on it's up to me to prove that I'm growing up and that I have other things to say, but in terms of the show it definitely gave me all of the opportunities I've had so far.

I think the show has sort of given me a name in this business and allowed a lot of people the opportunity to see what I can do, and it's just sort of like a sweet starting point.

They ask questions like 'do you believe in aliens' and those types of things. They were really interested in aliens, and that was really something that the Japanese have an interest in, and they are also very big fans of romances.

The people were just so lovely and accommodating and had really interesting questions and it was just interesting to see how the show is actually received in so many different countries.

I had a really normal childhood except I acted. It was like, my brother played soccer, and I was on television sometimes.

There was a scene early on during the first season of Roswell and I broke down crying. Since then, I've always just been able to do it.

'Baywatch' was one of those shows that you auditioned for all the time as a young girl. I auditioned once to play a blind girl and didn't get it. I was constantly auditioning for it.

A lot of the things I get sent are the girlfriend or the wife or the assistant, and those are not that exciting to me.
