What is it like being physically different from most of the other women in the cast? Does it ever phase you? (and if it DOES, just remember, there are a myriad of girls watching who LOVE when you strut your stuff.)

Let me start by saying thank you to those of you who have said ridiculously kind and sweet things about my work on the show, but also about my figure. It’s a very satisfying feeling to have one of the most influential creators, producers and writers in the industry fight to have “normal-sized women” on his shows. To have Joss Whedon say, “You’re beautiful, sexy, strong and normal and there should be more women like you on TV and I don’t know why there aren’t” feels incredible, as you could imagine. I think everyone wants to be skinnier than they are, it’s just the way it is. But for me, the most important thing has always been about health and being the best version of yourself that you can possibly be without comparing yourself to anyone else. When you start going down that road you’ll only drive yourself crazy. So, I’ll continue to strut my stuff as long as you strut yours.

The scene in Man on the Street where you “switch on” for the first time is possibly the best single moment in the series to date. As Adelle said, “it did not lack for poetry”. The look on your face as you switch is absolutely phenomenal, with the change in the eyes and that subtle kick-ass grin. You really sold it well. Did it require a lot of takes and direction from Joss to get that moment on film? Or are you a natural at channeling your inner killing machine?

A lot of you have commented on my “switch” in Man on the Street. So again, let me say thank you. That scene was challenging on a couple levels, but honestly some of the most fun I’ve ever had. I had to do our Chinese food scene, the sex scene, and that fight scene all in one day and it was only my 3rd day on the show, period. Was I intimidated? Uh-huh But was I thrilled to do all that? You betcha! The first half of the fight scene when I was the victim was a little intense. But when I got to be the bad ass, that was a TON of fun! I’ve always wanted to kick ass and be tough! It was awesome. And our stunt coordinator, and stunt people were terrific. They were really good and thankfully really patient with me while I got into the zone so I could get my ninja skills on. The switch itself was interesting because they wanted a really specific look and when I saw the final shot I was like, “yes! Good job, kiddo! You didn’t mess it up!”

What’s it like to play a number of different characters on one show?

For most of the season I just played one, Mellie, and I loved it. The episode in which I played the most characters was actually Omega. I came in as November (doll state), then got imprinted as the Bounty Hunter (you can see clips of those deleted scenes on the DVD, by the way), and then was released as Madeline. Of course you have that millisecond of fear as an actor that they’re all going to seem the same, but the truth is-they aren’t at all. They’re all fun in their own way and as an actor, it’s a dream come true to be able to do your thing. And the most fascinating thing for me was interacting with Paul as those 3 different characters. As the doll, I didn’t know who he was and I was just being polite, you know…like you do when you’re a doll. As the bounty hunter, I called him “furniture” and then later punched him in the face with my gun because he was in my way. Then as Madeline, I looked at him as a stranger that was somehow allowed to be there while I concluded my business with the Dollhouse, but didn’t really mind. Living all of those moments, compared to being infatuated with him for the previous 11 episodes, was quite an interesting experience for me.
