April: (Talks about filming in Vancouver and being detached from home) I like it because we work such long days that I don't really have time to do anything else or have a social life anyways so all I really have to focus on is work. When I do have free time I love this city so much that if I can't be home in LA, I couldn't picture myself going anywhere else to work because its kind of the perfect place. It's away from everything and I can focus and I'm not really homesick here.

April (Talks about working with Matt Dallas on Kyle XY): He's awesome. He's super professional and he and I became friends right off the bat. We actually recognized each other without ever meeting. We met in the airport to come to Vancouver to shoot the pilot. We were both wandering outside the gate and we locked eyes and he said, "April!" and I was like, "Matt!" We knew instantly, I knew he was Kyle and he knew I was Lori so we bonded right away. He's a great friend and great to work with. We help each other a lot with lines and learning material and discussing what's happening with the scene. Everyone's really open and encouraging. He definitely works very hard. He puts a lot of time into his work, even when he's at home. He takes it very seriously.

April (Talks about her audition for Quintuplets): I was auditioning for a lot of pilots, and when I got the script and looked at it, I said, 'Mom, this is the one.'

I was transformed.
