I Only Knew Basic Western

[john Larroquette] Is One Of The Smartest Men I've Ever Met. He's Very Cerebral And Book-smart. He Would Say Things And I'd Have To Go Look Them Up, Thinking, "that Can't Be True!" And They'd Be True.

Playing Amanda [in Defiance] Was A Wonderful Opportunity For Me. She Was Strong, Dynamic, A Complete Badass, Not Defined Her Relationship With A Man. She Could Hold Her Own. I Really Loved Her.

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 Only Knew Basic Western Trail Riding. Nothing Fancy.

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.
