Burn Notice' is a show that definitely has some levity to it and it's a fun show, but it's also, you fully believe, you're fully invested that Michael Westen does this stuff. You want Michael Westen on your team.

I find that the hot yoga is sort of a false thing, so your body temperature goes up and you can stretch and you can injure yourself a little bit easier than if you work yourself into... if you heat yourself up.

Sometimes, if you don't have kids yourself, it's assumed you won't understand or know how to play a mom, which is kind of silly if you think about it.

I get antsy and annoyed if I am sedentary too long.
Tricia Helfer -
I'm not very good at resting on my laurels. I am a bit of a workaholic, and I like to keep busy and active, so I think that's what drives me.

Chemistry is a hard thing. I don't think you can force it, and it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to have great chemistry outside of work. It's just something that sparks on screen or doesn't.

Ten episodes goes by really quickly, especially when you've got a really tough shooting schedule of seven-day episodes.

I just want to be challenged. I want to be proud of what I do, and I want to learn new things and keep growing.

As an actor, if I just did sci-fi, I think it would get limiting, like if you just play lawyers or doctors, over and over. It's a lot more fun, if you get to play lots of different types of characters.

I am still learning, myself, but I guess I would say to be aware of what is around you. Do not expect anything; there is more to be gained by earning it. Work hard, play fair, be kind to all living creatures, and take a moment to just sit back and breathe.

I'd rather play an ass-kicking destroyer or a super strong spy or agent than some meek, vulnerable character.

I definitely have to admit that I am fairly ignorant, not just to 'Tron,' but almost any pop culture thing that I should know, at my age. I grew up without a television and rarely got to see a movie, so I didn't really see any of that stuff, and I haven't been able to catch up since.

I lump Canada and the States together. I like good old North American boys.

I think sometimes the hardest obstacle is yourself.

I have always been physically active. I grew up a tomboy and was into sports, so staying active is something that I enjoy. I get antsy and annoyed if I am sedentary too long. I mix up exercise - yoga, Pilates, hiking, running, and weights. I also eat well. I do not eat meat or poultry - have not since I was eighteen.

I think I sort of blossomed, so to speak, around 17. I started to get hips and put on weight, which I was very happy about. And that's when I met this agent, who told me I had to lose 10 pounds. I said, 'You've got to be kidding me. I finally got it on - I'm not losing it!'

The key to successfully working with each other is that they respect each other and their abilities.

If you're doing live-action, you have to learn how to actually do whatever it is that you're doing. If you're doing voice-over, you can fake it.

Treating myself is more about just going out and having a great hike, or going on a long motorbike ride.

My husband says I like animals more than I like people. I take that as the compliment he means it as.
Tricia Helfer -
Sitcom hours are silly easy compared to drama. Whenever an actor on a sitcom complains, I feel like smacking them!
Tricia Helfer -
I think what I find challenging is just trying to bring a truthfulness and a realism to a character.
Tricia Helfer -
The most important thing, when playing characters with chemistry, is being able to work off the other actor and be supported.
