I Loved Playing Darla.

I Was Sad When The Show [defiance] Got Canceled. It Was Heartbreaking For All Of Us Involved. It Was Definitely A Project That Everyone Involved Poured Their Heart And Soul Into. But We Had Three Good Years, Which Is, You Know, Three More Years Than Most Shows Get.

I've Had A Career Where I've Bounced Around A Lot Between Different Genres, And I Feel Very Lucky And Very Blessed That That's Happened To Me.

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 Originally Read For The Roles Of Debra And Rita [in Dexter], Because They Didn't Know What Direction They Were Going In, And I Worked So Hard On Deb, Because I Just Wanted To Swear. I Wanted To Say All Those Nasty Words. That Was It: "i Want To Swear On Television!".

I Only Knew Basic Western Trail Riding. Nothing Fancy.
