Without question, dying on 'Lost' was the best thing I have ever done in my entire career.

I do accents. Sometimes when I've had a few drinks, I speak in different accents all night long, and then at the end of an evening someone will say to me, 'Seriously, where are you from?'

The danger with playing someone tough is that the character can become two-dimensional and mean and nobody likes her.

It's a blessing to be paid to be in paradise. The Hawaiian people are so friendly.

I love science fiction stuff - I'm a bit of a dweeb like that.

If I have the power to post 'Happy Birthday' on someone's Facebook page and make them feel really good, it feels really good to make other people feel really good. I love it. I'm a huge Facebook and Twitter person. And I love talking to my fans. It's fun.

I'm quadracontinental. I've got a life in London, New York, L.A. and Hawaii.

I don't know what the next acting job will be. I would love to do a comedy.

You know I hate watching myself on TV, I know a lot of actors say that, but it's true for me.

When I got 'Lost,' I was about to not be able to live, so it was a fall-to-the-knees, burst-into-tears, 'I'm saved by this great role' moment.

I've always wanted to do an adult cartoon, because I want a job where you can just drive up in your pajamas, have a cup of tea and not even get dressed, and you've gone to work for the day. What a great gig!

It's rare to work on a series without a writer. If you have a question about a line, then phone calls have to be made.
