I Love Being Challenged Physically, As An

I'd Been Doing Comedy Up That Point And Hadn't Really Done A Lot Of Drama, And Then All Of A Sudden He Casts Me As A 400-year-old Vampire From Hell. It Was, Like, "what?!"

During The Rehearsal Process I Got Thrown Off The Horse.

I Worked So Hard On That Role [of Debra In Dexter]. And I Barely Worked On Rita. But I Read For Casting - Both Parts - And They Said, "that's Great, We're Going To Bring You In For Producers." So I Read For Some Producers - Both Parts - And They Said, "that's Great, We're Going To Bring You In To Meet The Creator." And I Went In, And As Soon As I Walked In The Room, He Looked At Me And He Said, "oh My God, You're Our Rita!" And I Said, "no! I'm Deb! I'm A Total Deb!" "no, You're Rita!".

I'd Always Thought That Acting Was, Like, You Had To Work Really Hard, You Had To Change The Way You Walked, You Talked, And All Of That. But That's Not Acting. That's Shmacting.

I Love Doing Action Films That Do Challenge Me Physically. I Feel It's My Job To Keep My Stamina Up And Be As Physically Fit As Possible, So That I Can Just Jump In And Do It. It Takes Its Toll Sometimes And It's Hard Work, But I Love That.
