Personal Quote:

[on her Angel character Fred:] Looking back at my character, I've gotten to do about 12 different parts because I started out crazy, in a potato sack, in a demon dimension. Now I'm in charge of this multimillion-dollar science lab. The journey between those points has really brought a lot of strength to the role. [in The Fresno Bee, February 4, 2004] See more »
