"I kind of felt that [Moiraine] called me. There’s a reason that these things come to you at a certain time and I felt there was a very strong — it was like a voice in my head that thought, ‘You have to listen to this. You have to do this one. I think it’s gonna teach you stuff,’ and it was something about the nature of channeling this woman who could harness the powers of the universe and I thought there was a dimension of this character that would be a teacher, be a guide. I mean, she is a guide in the show, but I thought she could be a guide to me, too.”

I quite enjoy characters who people don't know where they stand, because it creates dramatic tension. You can keep an audience on their toes and it doesn't matter if they don't like you or they mistrust you, as long as they still find you fun to watch. If they don't, then you're in trouble. [...] Moiraine doesn't have [a very dangerous mind], but she obviously has this tremendous physical prowess in terms of being able to channel the One Power. I've never played a character who's got that kind of physical might, so that was fun for me.

I think, you know, as an actor we get these terribly sort of pretentious ideas in our heads. We try to take everything very seriously at first, you know, until we lighten up, we get on-board, and have a laugh.

"I wanted to be an actress since I was really, really small. I knew I didn’t want to sing, and I didn’t want to do music, and words were the ways I wanted to express myself. And I don’t know, it’s pretty good, isn’t it? You can create characters and dress up and just extend the role-play you do as a kid and make it your job. It’s pretty exciting."

“It's not that I was particularly looking to go into a television series, but when a character is compelling, it draws you in — whatever the format.”
