I really feel that I was given the opportunity to grow as an actress and really challenge myself and use her almost as an acting school in a way.
To us marriage is first, everything else is second.
I'm also very proud of my work on Taken.
I actually, when I read the script I knew it was going to be a big hit. In my gut, my gut said that this show was going to be it.
And I had never played an evil character before up until that point so I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to do as far as the acting choices were.
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.
If you're offered something, you're not really sure exactly what is that they saw in you that they think is the character so it's a little scary, I feel.
During the rehearsal process I got thrown off the horse.
I would love to re-visit Darla. I miss her. I really do.
I really take pride in the relationship that I have with my husband.
When they took me to do the camera test for the vampire make up, after they put the prosthetic on, I went though the entire process, I went back to my trailer and I looked in the mirror and I smiled.
I actually started, this year, doing some voiceovers. I did some radio spots, and some games.
I'm fortunate that I've been an athlete, my whole life, and I work out like a crazy person.
I only knew basic western trail riding. Nothing fancy.
