Every first episode of a season has been crafted like another pilot.
I had a fantastic mother who taught me self-confidence.
I've been estranged from my father since I was eight.
Becoming a mother doesn't always change every aspect of your personality.
I feel good about who I am.
My friends and I would get up early and take our horses through the national forest. My mom was very free. It was always 'Out of the house!' There was no watching television on weekends.
I love being physical, but I don't have any desire to prove myself.
I'm a huge camper, and love hiking and mountain biking.
I've found in my life that the parts that you're right for are the parts that you get. It's really usually quite easy because you're kind of right.
I wear Blundstones for hiking. They're like a work boot with a bit of grip, so you can wear them all day. They're quite groovy.
I just adore Kate Winslet. I love her because you're never aware of all the stuff that's going into her characterization and, yet, she completely transforms.

Shakespeare is all big themes, like the most amazing love, or the most scary war.
Why can't a woman be a little cooler in her emotions and a little quieter and more repressed without it being a huge thing? I've actually always quite enjoyed that, to tell you the truth.
Some people just aren't meant to be happy.
'Fringe' is a sci-fi show. But once you go beyond the genre, you're immersed in a profound reality.
Science fiction is becoming more of a diverse kind of genre.
With science fiction there's endless possibilities.
To be really honest, I don't love the gym.
I work in an industry where everyone is flawlessly beautiful, but I just want to be healthy.

I think my attitude's different when I'm in the different places. I don't walk around in character. I try not to walk around with the accent, but those little things change you, whether it's your hair, your clothes, your shoes or a different silhouette. People absolutely look at you differently.Collection: Attitude
