Don't count Jessica out on 'Suits,' 'cause those boys are going to mess up, and they're going to have to call me. I believe that. I don't know when, I don't know how, but that story's not done, 'cause everybody comes back.

I think the public doesn't understand the rigors of shooting a show for an actor, much less when you're on location and away from home.

Superwoman is motivated by power and money and sex, and sex and money and power. Who can't relate to that?

Unfortunately, being a woman in society means that sometimes you have to sort of quell what is instinctually broad and magnificent and magical about you.

I love doing the nighttime soap, the emotional, psychological, hard stuff that I got to tackle on 'Hannibal.'

What I love about superheroes, and Superwoman in particular, is that in that comics world, they're all curvaceous. They're strong.

I love the chess game that I do on 'Suits.' I just love every bit of it and that I get to do it.

Life is about choices, and the grace - or lack thereof - with which you execute them is a make-or-break moment in anyone's life.

The older I get, I just don't know. But, there is absolutely that part of me that watches action shows and goes, 'I can still do that. I can still roll with that. I stay in shape. I keep it together. I stay strong.'

It's important to have strong images of women out there, women who aren't afraid of expressing themselves, women who aren't afraid of taking chances, women who aren't afraid of their own power.

My hope for my daughter is that she has the courage to at least try to do it all, to be kind to herself when it all doesn't come together perfectly, and to follow her dreams.

When it was announced that I was going to be on 'Castle,' there were immediate messages on all the TV news sites from 'Firefly' fans hoping for a nod to the series - some encrypted business just for them! I can't promise that, but I can say that a few people out there might get a thrill.
