AMANDA TAPPING

I like playing smart, savvy, sexy women -- because it's so not me!

Don't let anyone tell you no. Do it with conviction, do it with passion, and you'll find a way

I love acting... I really do. I love crawling into another character's skin. That's something that I've always, always, always, always wanted.

Every time I've done a fund raiser, I've been blown away by the amount of money and the generosity that our fans have.

That is exciting to reinvent myself, to invent a new character. As an actor that is revitalizing.

I've always found that sci-fi fans are unbelievably generous.

Comedy is really my passion. I started out way before television doing sketch comedy with other women. Very much along the lines of, at the time it was 'Sensible Footwear', but now it's 'Smack The Pony', 'French And Saunders', that kind of thing. That's how I started out.

I got roped into Twitter. I actually quite enjoy it! But I don't go on as often as some.

Ever since I started doing television, I tended to get cast, for the most part, as these strong, intelligent women... Which is wonderful, but very rarely do I get to be the goofy girl that I am.
