I love True Blood and Buffy, and, obviously, this is one of my favorite jobs that I've ever had - but not just because it's horror, but because the cast is so good and the writing is so great.

When you're reading something, your imagination goes and you see it in your mind. Sometimes my instincts with that are right, and sometimes they're wrong.

I'm completely in control of creating my photographs, and I'm not always in complete control of creating a character. It's more of a way to express myself than acting is, by far.

I've always been drawn to playing characters that are a completely the opposite of myself.

I love horror movies, so it's a real treat to be able to work on a television show of that genre, and have it actually be really, really good.

I'm always looking for a chance to play somebody who's completely opposite of me, just because I find it more interesting.

I don't watch things like Jeepers Creepers or Final Destination 53 ½. I really like more of the psychological thrillers.

I'm more of a "let the man come to me" girl.

I get hit on so much it's not normal. I didn't realize so many men liked redheads.

For the most part, when you're on set, you know everything's fake. You're very aware of the fact that you're shooting a television show.

Any time a new horror film comes out that looks appealing, I'm always excited to go see it.

Be first the master of yourself

Good literature is one key to peace. When we stop reading each other, when we stop paying attention to each other's words and stories, we too easily oppose one another.

This was the first time I noticed it, the inevitable space between father and man.

Nobody will live your life for you.

I think I'm getting a little bit of Alzheimer's. Just a little.

Everywhere we look we see the encroaching shadow of the police state.

What's your hurry? There is nothing up ahead that's any better than it is right here.

Treat people well on your way up and they'll treat you well on your way down.

Music's the best thing we do as humans, isn't it? Music, I mean you flail your limbs, make you move in a way you don't understand. Or it can make you weep like a sailor's wife staring at a storm.

You either master money, or, on some level, money masters you.
