That dot is special. That dot is where LIFE lives. And I get it, it's biased of a living organism like me to think that life is important and special, but I don't care!

Undoubtedly we're something special because, as far as we can tell, we are unique.

To be perfectly honest with you, having a mother as an actress -- who I watched struggle tremendously during my childhood -- and to watch fluctuations of ups and downs is difficult. She did mainly television, so I think I associated that with a life of inconsistency. As I've come into my own, I realize it has nothing to do with the medium. It has broadened my horizons in my own mind and ultimately it is about the character for me. If I read something and I fall in love with the character, no matter what it is, I'm eager to do it. That is what happened with Gwen [on "Angel"].
