integrity men numbers
The number one thing I look for in a man is integrity. A man who does what he says he's going to do.
men long people
I love it if a man makes an effort to get to know my parents and sisters. Getting to know the people who matter to me goes a long way.
people fans passionate
I've done other things, but it always seems like my sci-fi projects have been what people respond to the most, because those fans are extraordinary, so passionate.
teamwork independent knowing
I'm definitely one of those actresses who comes to a set knowing how I want to do a scene, and I definitely love input from my directors and my writers. I know that there's some actors who like to be left alone, they like to be very independent, but I actually really enjoy the teamwork.
firefly cameras angle
I worked on 'Sarah Connor' even longer than 'Firefly.' And I always remembered how generous everyone was to me when I didn't know what to do, and I didn't know the rules, and I didn't know camera angles, and I didn't know lighting.
girl years play
Over the years, I have been fortunate to get to play a lot of really kick-ass girls.
team moving firefly
After doing 'Firefly' and moving on, I always wanted to be part of a series again. I love doing films, too, but there's just something special about being part of the team and feeling like you're actually a part of the family, and I always look to re-create that.
exercise water ballet
When I stopped doing ballet, I started training in the pool. I would do my barre exercises in the water, because that prevents injuries.
girl feel-good roles
I always look for roles that make me feel good about being a girl. I have to say that there are a lot of roles out there that make me feel really bad about being a girl. You can imagine what the things are and I shall not go into detail.
growing-up dancer acting
There was a little part of me that always felt like I was going to be an actress, but I never acted when I was growing up. I was a dancer. That's all I did, all day, all my life. Maybe this was just where I was meant to be, and somehow I ended up here, but it just felt right. As soon as I started acting, it just felt like it was meant to be.
feel-good personality feelings
I'm very physical. It's an important part of being a woman - feeling good about yourself and really being in tune with your personality.
kids symphony scholarship
I was always the kid on scholarship, I was a soloist with my company, I'd been working with the symphony since I was 14.
jobs crazy three
I still dance, probably three times a week, unless I'm working on a crazy job, and then I just don't have any free time at all.
writing play voice
You're not just writing in a vacuum, and then handing it over to someone else to shoot. You're writing, and then getting feedback from the actor and hearing their voice and how they play things.
