On working out: "I love Pilates. I find it to be the best thing for me. It's not too high-impact, it's relaxing, and yet it works you out."

On her character Christina Nickson in "Point Pleasant": "Christina may seem weird but she's actually like a lot of teenagers. She's constantly asking 'Will I be a good person or a bad person?' and 'How can I resist temptation?'"

On her "Strangers With Candy" co-star Amy Sedaris: "Amy is one of the smartest and most daring female comedians of her time. On the set I just sat there in awe of the constant invention."

On her love for horror movies: "I am so masochistic - I love to be scared, and I think "The Exorcist" is one of the scariest movies ever made. I can watch it over and over, and I’m still frightened by it!"

On "Point Pleasant": "The thing about this show is that it’s a supernatural drama, but it’s very much grounded in the reality of normal human struggles. In portraying the character, it’s been mostly about playing it as real as possible. Now, of course, when I’m staring at someone with the evil eye, that’s fun because you don’t get to do that in normal life very often. You definitely feel that way sometimes, so it’s definitely fun to be able to manifest those emotions for no reason. But for me it was most important to portray this character grounded in reality, in the normal sort of teen struggles."

On Christina Nickson being the anti-hero in "Point Pleasant": "I compare Christina to Shane, the Western antihero. We want to love her, we want to see her enter into domesticity, we want to see her become part of the family, but she just can’t. She has this other lifestyle and separate life she doesn’t fully understand, and she needs to reconcile with it before she can really decide if she can be part of the normal world. She’s an antihero, and we always sympathize with those characters. We love them because they’re human, they make mistakes, they make the wrong choices, yet they’re still likable."

On her job at the Sundance Channel: "I was a PA - I was digitizing interview tapes like this one. Ultimately, my reasons for wanting to be involved on the production side and starting at the bottom was that it was a step forward to doing my own independent projects."

On shooting "Point Pleasant" in San Diego: "I think San Diego is one of the most beautiful parts of the country."

On "Point Pleasant"'s message: "Some people will be really freaked out by the show, and hopefully they’ll realize we’re not trying to propagate satanism in any way. That’s not what it’s about. It’s about human struggle, and hopefully people will understand that."

On doing research for her role in "Point Pleasant": "I didn’t do any research and watch these types of movies and overanalyze them. Having already been well-versed in the horror genre, for me it was making sure I was portraying this character in this world as accessible, human and as real as possible. That’s the only way people relate to a character who is so out-there."

On why it is more fun to play the evil in "Point Pleasant": "It’s more fun to play the evil, simply because it’s not me, and the coolest thing I’ve done so far is shower a character in blood just by staring at her."

On comparing "Point Pleasant" to Marti Noxon's previous show "Buffy": "I don’t physically kick butt, but there are things that empower me that I am responsible for. That will be developed more and more. They’re going to be very careful about not turning this into "Buffy". This is quite a different thing. Like [creator] Marti [Noxon] has said, Buffy knew her purpose in her show, which was to battle these evil forces, but Christina has to battle the force within."

On Christina Nickson's internal struggle: "It’s more psychological than physical - the way they’re making these visual connections between the cause and effects of what she does and what happens. It’s not so literally about zapping someone with my fingers; it’s more of a psychological visual connection. If you look in my head, we know it’s not going to cause a good result."
