I Only Knew Basic Western Trail Riding.

That Was One Of The Reasons I Took The Role [of Mayor Amanda Rosewater In Defiance] - To Be A Part Of Something Groundbreaking Interested Me.

I Remember Gale Gordon Was In The Pilot [of Hi Honey, I'm Home], And It Was One Of My Very First Professional Gigs Without Having An Adult Take Me To The Job.

As An Actor, It Made Me Realize A Really Important Lesson. I Didn't Have To Put Any Spin On The Ball As Rita [in Dexter]. All I Had To Do Was Speak. And There Was Such Simplicity In That As An Actor. With Debra, I Was Trying To Put A Square Peg Into A Round Hole, And It Just Didn't Work, But In My Mind, Because I Had To Work So Hard On It, I Was, Like, "oh, This Is Acting!" But That's Not Acting.

I Love Doing Action Films That Do Challenge Me Physically. I Feel It's My Job To Keep My Stamina Up And Be As Physically Fit As Possible, So That I Can Just Jump In And Do It. It Takes Its Toll Sometimes And It's Hard Work, But I Love That.

I've Been An Actor For 30 Years, So I Pretty Much Know How To Do The Basics Of A Fight Without Hurting Anybody.
