[on how she became part of the cast of Farscape, when her role as Chiana was originally meant for one episode] It was only supposed to be for one episode. The shot that grazed Chiana's arm was meant to knock me off. I don't know what I did but obviously the gods were smiling on me because, five years later, I was still dressed up in three hours of makeup every day and doing these crazy alien movements and living on a spaceship. I was 23 at the time and it was my first long-term job and by far the highlight of my career. I've done lots of shows after that and films, television, theater, but there's something really cool about playing an alien. There's no definition; you can just create something from the Uncharted Territories and people buy it! It's awesome. And because I've grown up with the characters of The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth, and I looked at the Henson characters that are always so complex and so diverse and so unbelievably believable, I wanted to create a character like that. I didn't want to be a human wearing alien makeup, I wanted to be an alien from outer space. Because it's so rare-usually you're a doctor or a nurse or a cop or the girl next door. But now you're an alien in space-awesome!
