You took the words right out of my mouth when it comes to describing people posing as me. No, I am not on Facebook, Myspace or Twitter. I find it vile and disgusting and complete identity fraud when someone pretends to be you and misleads other people. I haven't seen the Facebook page but I have seen one of my "supposed" Myspace pages, which was just completely ripped off from things in the media - although not presented in a way that I would present myself. I contacted my attorney but unfortunately there is nothing I can do. Personally, I think the laws need to change to include this in identity fraud. Thanks for your kind words and I'm sorry there is some idiot posing as me on Facebook.

The colour (sorry, I'm Canadian and that's how we spell it) is custom, and if I remember correctly from what I've been told, is a mix of a tonne of colours to make that exact lavender. To be honest, I don't really want to give out the exact colour because that was my Christmas present from my husband, who worked very hard with the painter to replicate the colour of a sweater (yes, a cashmere sweater) that I love. I do hope you get a wonderful lavender bike for you wife, but my rocker C has a huge sentimental value for me so I'm being a bit protective : )

No, we haven't gotten close to finishing. We have yet to start. On the Tonight Show I think I said building, meaning, the whole process which includes drawing and digging wells and such. We have a well dug and are moving forward with the engineering plans. We had wanted to build in 2008 but we felt we were rushing the plans (we weren't quite happy with them yet) and with the writer's strike and possible actor's strike we figured the time was not right to build. We have our work cut out for us there because the location is remote, we don't live there, there are long harsh winters (building time shorter) and there is still quite a building boom in that province so it's hard to find labour. We have decided to make sure we have the plans well thought out and to do the build over two summers. We are hoping to fix the nearby county road, put the mile long drive way in, septic field in and build the foundation next summer. The following summer, build the rest of the house and finish the interior. I know some of the press I did came out awhile ago and people are probably wondering why I'm still talking and not showing finished pictures. It's a huge undertaking that we are trying to do while living in another country and working full time, haha, wish us luck.

The Genius Club is the only project so far that I wish I hadn't done. The set was very tense and I had a horrible experience while making the movie - as did a lot of the cast. I signed on because it was a challenge to play someone with an illness and it fit into a short hiatus that I had from another show. I don't share similar beliefs nor, I think, do most of the cast.

It's hard to choose a favorite episode since I like them for multiple reasons but I guess I'd have to say the Pegasus episodes in the middle of season two. Probably because I was getting a little bored of just playing Head Six, so the Gina character that was vastly different than Head Six was a good departure and challenge. Although, I think some of the last episodes of the series that have yet to air are going to be pretty great. We try and keep in touch as much as we can when we are all traveling and working on other things. We were a very close cast so I think we'll always touch base with each other every once in awhile. I just spoke with Aaron Douglas yesterday and saw Mary McDonnel last week. I see Katee Sackhoff the most because we both ride motorbikes, so we get together for rides.

Yes, I am married. Showing skin on TV and in films depends on the story. I don't like gratuitous showing of skin where there is no point for it except to show skin, and I have turned down roles because of that. Sometimes I've had to show a bit when it didn't really call for it, but it fit with the character. I don't mind showing skin when the story calls for it. Skin and sex is natural and human, and none of us would be alive if it wasn't.

I am very encouraged and pleased by the response that I get on my site with helping animals. It makes me feel great to be helping out in a small way and I am very thankful to all the people who are making my shop site a success. I am not a full vegetarian - I eat fish. Yes, I did go to NYC at a young age, but not that young. I travelled to NYC first between grade 11 and 12, but then when back to school. I left from home for good, a couple months shy of 18 years old. I don't consider that young to leave home since I would have been leaving shortly after that to university anyway if I had followed my intended path instead of starting modeling. As far as educating myself, I have traveled the world extensively in the 16 years since and I consider that quite an education in itself. I have not gone back to school, besides acting classes, but I think you are referring more to traditional study than acting classes. I read fiction for fun and I read scripts and research roles, and the NY Times is my staple. Life and work is a continual education. I don't have a university degree but I certainly feel educated. To be honest, I'm not really interested in architecture. One of my sister-in-laws is an architect and I appreciate it, but I'm more inclined to be interested in the interior design than the structural, although Dwell is one of my favorite magazines.

I loved my childhood in the small town, rural area. Of course, there were points in my life where I was wanting to spread my wings a bit, but never to the point of wishing or longing that I was born and raised somewhere else. I wouldn't change my childhood for anything. So much so, that my husband and I are going to be building a vacation house right next to the farm I grew up on. We were suppose to have built it this year, but we are delaying it a year or two to make sure we have the plans we want and the money to do it : )

Thank you. Emotional scenes, obviously, are very tough to do. Every actor approaches them in an individual way and has to use what works for them. Substitution is probably one of the most used tactics - substituting or relating what's happening in the scene to something in your own life. I also will do things sometimes like carry a picture of someone or something. The set ups to film any scene take a long time and trying to hit that emotion, then shut it off, then hit it again half an hour later, then shut if off, etc. for a few hours or a day of filming is definitely the hardest part for me. During those scenes I try to stay to myself a lot. It gets loud with the crew working between set ups and there are a lot of distractions, so I try to find a quiet place close to set (instead of going back to my trailer) where I can just sort of "brew" and stay close to the emotion instead of shutting it on and off completely. Sometimes it feels like you have to force it and sometimes it comes naturally. I'm not a big crier, like a lot of girls, so I don't often do the whole "tears running down the cheek thing." Some actresses can turn the tears on at any second, but I can't. I also don't like to cry in every emotional scene because I don't feel it's realistic. When people start to cry, they almost always try to stop it. People don't like crying, so I don't agree with tears being necessary to make an emotional point in a scene.
