I Think For Me It Was A

[ Angel Series] Really Taught Me That Acting Is Not Just About Being Emotionally Challenged. It's About Being Physically Challenged. And I Enjoyed Both Aspects Of That.

I Was Sent The Script [of Havenhurst ], And I Was Out Of Town At The Time, So I Did A Site Meeting With Andrew [erin]. It Was So Bizarre. I Was Staying In A Hotel At The Time, And The Night Before The Meeting With Andrew, I Learned There Was A Ghost In The Hotel.

I Went In For An Audition [for As Good As It Gets], But The Audition Was With James L. Brooks. I Was The First Girl In That Morning, And There Was A Whole Waiting Room Of Girls Waiting To Read For It. So I Did My Audition, And He Asked Me To Step Outside. So I Stepped Outside, And When He Asked Me To Come Back In, He Looked At Me, And He Said, "well, I'm Very Excited To Work With You On Set." And I Was, Like, "what?"

When I First Auditioned For Dexter... Well, I Was Sent The Script, And I Read It And Loved It, And I Knew Right Away That It Was Going To Be A Hit Because It's The Type Of Programming That I Like To Watch.

I Love That As An Audience Member.

So It's Nice To Know That Rita Had That Impact, And It Was Nice To End A Character On A High Note Like That. But, Again, In The Moment... I Always Say, Nobody Was More Devastated Than Me [from Rita's Death In Dexter]!
