And I remember my first season just never hitting my mark and the poor cinematographer, I was never in my light.
Cause I was such a novice and thank God that Sarah was as seasoned as she was because she was really a great leader in that regard in the sense that she would communicate really well with the crew.
Cordelia was good, but it was on a high-school level. As Cordelia changed and evolved, she started to mellow out.
I certainly wouldn't not do a movie but it would have to be the right thing and I think I'm most comfortable doing television and I would love to do half-hour... just because it's less work and now I do comedy and I think that's where I'd like to go, I would be best suited for right now.
I did Playboy for a very specific reason. Not only was it a good financial move, but it was about the place I was at in my life.
I don't mind playing the same character, but if it's not well done, then I'm not interested.
I don't think that they know fully what's happening with Miss Match so therefore I don't know how many more if any, if the show's even gonna keep going.
I felt really confident in my growth as an actor and I felt really good about the opportunity I was given to go deep.
I had been warned not to get on a motorcycle, sort of. I think there is a clause in most general basic contracts to keep yourself in one piece and not alter your looks without telling them first.
I had developed a sitcom with UPN, but it wasn't picked up.
I really wish I could sing so I could front a band, because that would be a dream come true, totally. I want to sing. Can't do it though.
I think essentially the meaning of life is probably the journey and not really any one thing or an outcome or a result.
I think the circumstances were that there was a story about a girl named Serena Lockner who turned out to be a friend of Kate, who's Alicia Silvertsone, from High School, who she has bitter-sweet feelings for.
I wrapped that Monday and started on my third episode for Miss Match on Thursday of that same week and we just wrapped yesterday cause it was split over the holiday.
I'm a mixed breed and hope to live longer because of it.
I'm shy, and I'm in love with my husband and sex is something I only do with him, yet I have to believably pretend that I'm in love with some actor.
It's been a difficult thing because some great opportunities have come and I've just been holding my breath and praying... I'm basically gambling hoping something will come along this season and if not, I don't know what the future holds.
Most of the time I meet my trainer at the gym and we do a lot of everything: weights circuit with cardio, football drills, sprinting with weights on the treadmill.
No, I'm a horrible singer, I'm awful.
Oh heck yeah, I totally would love to have a Phantom Dennis in real life.
So I begged, half way into season two, for them to let me cut my hair.
So, I'm happy to do that because it's a wonderful working relationship but I will be going out for pilot season for half hour work and that's the gamble I'm taking.
Sometimes decisions get made and it ends up being God doing for you what you couldn't do for yourself.
Sure, I'd take the responsibility of queen any day.
The day I ended up on the set to return for the 100th episode was a lovely day and he was there, he wrote a note and left flowers for me in my trailer expressing his gratitude for my return and that it meant a lot to him and the story would probably be one of the sweetest they'd ever told.
The road Cordelia has travelled, the journey she has taken up to now has been such a joy to play as an actress, because there have been so many chances to do so many different emotions.
There isn't one in particular that I'm working towards but pilot season is coming up and the only thing I can say is that I'm focusing on half-hour.
There's a pretty good chance that you're going to go down when you're on a motorcycle or if you're sky diving or whatever, but that happened before I even got this job, and I haven't sky dived since.
This is funny because I just had a job over the summer for VH1, a project I did called Strange Frequency where I got to play a Goth rock band singer.
Today my son and I went for a stroll and saw the sea lions and watched the sunset and played ball in the park with our dog.
Well, they know that I'm not very anxious to get into one hour again.
When I was first starting out, and I was less established, I was really concerned about being typecast.
When you gain 50 pounds during pregnancy like I did, you fear that you'll never get back in shape.
You know, nothing is ever happily-ever-after. Ever.
