If I have the power to post 'Happy Birthday' on someone's Facebook page and make them feel really good, it feels really good to make other people feel really good. I love it. I'm a huge Facebook and Twitter person. And I love talking to my fans. It's fun.Collection: Birthday
I'm such a fan girl when it comes to movies, TV and sci-fi, sometimes I can't believe I actually get to be in them.
It's rare to work on a series without a writer. If you have a question about a line, then phone calls have to be made.
I'm just naturally quite toned. My dad was like a body builder, so I've got my dad's body. Not all of it, thank God.

My first car was in 2006 when I got on my first TV show - a BMW 328i2 four-door sedan in slate grey. That was a great day, that was.
I do accents. Sometimes when I've had a few drinks, I speak in different accents all night long, and then at the end of an evening someone will say to me, 'Seriously, where are you from?'
Actors who say they don't watch TV are stupid. I was raised by TV! And it's how I research for auditions.
