I've seen 'Absentia,' which was amazing. I loved 'Absentia.' I loved that for no money, he was able to make a movie about something that you never saw. You never saw the bad guys. That was amazing to me. You never saw what you were supposed to be afraid of; you just knew you were supposed to be afraid of it. It was a phenomenal movie.

I read the script for 'Somnia' when I was filming 'Oculus,' and I remember calling my manager going, 'I really need to do this movie,' and he's like, 'How about you finish this one first and then you see it?' I was like, 'I don't need to. I don't need to. You need to read this. I need to do this movie. The script is very good.'

Basically, as soon as I saw that there was a role available on '24,' I jumped at it, and then when I sat down and talked to them, it seemed to get more interesting and more fun.

It's things I wouldn't normally do in my real life, so when I go to work and get to beat people up and shoot guns and get waterboarded, those are things I find completely interesting.

I don't think I've ever been haunted by a ghost, but I always joke with my fiance about the house we're living in right now. It seems to have something in it.

I looked at my parents when I was 17, and I said, 'I'm moving to L.A.'

I was planning that whole athletic slide into Stanford rather than actually getting a 1450 on my SATs.

The Olympics was a goal, and definitely, swimming in college was a goal.

I still sleep with my baby blanket.

I don't watch a lot of TV.

I'm always awkward when someone recognizes me.

I'm not very good in crowds, so I usually try to become as small as possible.

As an actor, you put yourself out there. You put yourself in the arena as an easy target.

I think when you're doing good work, you don't necessarily need to be validated.

My goal is to make people feel passionately, if it's negative or positive, I did my job.

You can't win some people over.

Playing somebody who's still alive is very interesting.

The sad thing is, I never wanted to be Princess Leia - I always wanted to be Han Solo!

'Star Wars' was, I mean, it was the first time I remember seeing three movies that all kind of went together. It was just an amazing final understanding of what a trilogy was.

'Star Wars' meant everything to me growing up.

Michael Hogan is an absolutely brilliant actor, so anytime I get to work with someone of that caliber, I get excited.

Everyone freaks out because my character is the only one who has shorts on the Galactica. Well, that is because I went and grabbed a pair of pants and scissors and cut them off and gave her shorts.

I've got my Peabody and my Saturn awards right next to each other on my mantle, and that is about it, and that is all that matters.

I would hate for my father to regret all his support that he's given me over the years and be embarrassed by anything I chose to do.
