I'm always drawn to strong female leads, so that's what drew me to 'Lost Girl.' I was a 'Buffy' fan and watched it with friends every week. I was also a big fan of 'Alias' when that was on - they both had strong female leads, and that's what draws me in the most.

I had a book that was given to me as a kid that was called 'Faeries.' It was this dark, sinister book with pictures that used to scare me because they were these creepy little creatures. But, I was always really drawn to that fantasy world, more than a sci-fi world, in terms of outer space stuff.

The biggest challenge is the chaos of parenthood, which has honestly been such a welcome challenge - bring it on, I say!

When I started in the business years ago, people would always say, 'You better get as much work as you can now, because once you get over 40, it's over.'
