I have a lot of that in my own life - passion, vigour, and what comes coupled with that.

I listen to a lot of Phil Collins.

When I was first pitched the show, I was like, 'Oh, God, a soapy show called 'Mistresses.'' But it wasn't that at all. It wasn't a bunch of women pulling guns on each other and stabbing each other in the back. We really have a core friendship.

Ricky Whittle's abs, they should be in a museum. They're crazy.

My life and career is my own adventure.

I spent an awful lot of my life underestimating myself and, as a result, not exceeding my own expectations.
