I don't find acting to be a particularly noble way to make a living. I'm not saving anybody's life, I'm not a teacher, I'm not working for UNICEF. I don't think I'm some big deal.

It's awkward with Patrick because he's like my brother. As soon as the camera is off, I'm like, 'Is your hand on my butt?' But there are millions of girls who have been waiting for this, so I feel an obligation to the fans.

I just worry about the girls who look up to me...I don't want them to think I starve myself or don't eat, and that to be like me that's what they have to do.

The thing about series television is that is very difficult the aspect of never knowing where your character is going or where she'll end up. You know, we have no idea where the end of this is. Or what the end of each season is, for that matter. I guess it's made me a more adaptable actor, you know you sort of have to be more creative.

You never know, sort of, when they explain the stunt you say 'Oh, that sounds really simple and I can do that, it's no problem.' I sort of figured that I was just going to fall back on a mat, you know and that it will look fine. But you feet have to disappear. And you know the guys who come and do the stunts, they know so much about it and they make you feel so safe. So it's just fun, and you get to be on location and do something different.

To make it look believable they really have to pump on your chest. And after a while, of course your heart does respond. So my heart, I had, kept having this, like, palpitations. It's making me feel really strange to have people do CPR on me for hours and hours at the time. I don't think it's that great for you. So after the first day, I told Rob, who is directing the episodes, I said 'You have to get me some sort of, you know, chest plate.' So they got this plastic chest plates. I think they used the ones from, that the girls used for Charlie's Angels. They had 3 sort of busts and I think I got Demi's, and I wore that, under all the blankets so when they were doing CPR on me I didn't really have to feel the impact. So that made things a lot better for me.

It's pretty remarkable how many people the show touches...I think we are very lucky in that way so, I love when the fans come up to us because they usually have really interesting stories. We are very grateful to the fans, we would have no show without them, you know? You could have the best writing in the world, and you could have the best acting in the world, but if the fans don't tune in every week, there's no show. So, I think we have them to be the most thankful for.

Several members of my family have been admitted to the hospital since the show started, and when they feel like the treatment isn't good enough, they say, 'Do you know who my niece is?' And suddenly they're in the VIP area, getting pedicures in bed!

The trap is when you start to pay attention to that stuff and care, because in six months, they're going to be looking at someone else. You know how fickle everyone is. They love it, then they hate it, then they love it. So I'm going to enjoy it because it could be over at any minute.

It's gross. We use real brains. I think they're lamb or cow or something. Intestines smell. Brains don't really smell, but what's amazing about the brain is that it's almost like scrambled eggs or soft tofu, almost like a gel. The brain controls so much of what we do, but you could put your finger right through it.

When I'm doing a big crying scene, I go to a really dark place inside me. I almost torture myself by drawing on the emotions of my past.
