"Roswell's
a cross between My So-Called Life and The X Files.
It's a story of kids in high school who are all trying to discover
themselves and who they are and it's a little difficult for three of them
because they just happen to be aliens."
"All of this was so
new to her, everything that was happening, and so the second, third,
fourth episode, she was having to make a lot of decisions. Like what
she found to be important in her life, what she wanted to invest time in
and...she decided she wanted to focus more on her relationship with Max
versus her relationship with Kyle and she was really having to stand up
for herself in a way and saying like, 'I can't take this anymore. I
need to do what's best for me.' So it's really been wonderful to see
her evolve into someone who's a lot more confident, is a lot more self
assured and is able to stand up for what she wants and feels is going to
make her happy in the end.
"And, you know,
she's having a little bit more fun in these past few episodes. You
know, now that some of the drama has cooled down a little bit, she's
definitely...you see a lot more of her relationship with Maria - Majandra
Delfino's character - and they're playing a lot with more each other
[sic]. So you're seeing also more of the girl-ful side of her."
"When I read it,
what definitely attracted to me, was the writing. Jason Katims has a
way of writing things in such a realistic and honest voice, something's
that not trying to sound sixteen but really is. It was really that
age, and that period in adolescent life, that it wasn't difficult at the
audition to feel what he was writing for these characters because he was
writing it so honestly that it was able to play it so honestly. So I
think, you know, it's hard to act out a story unless the story's out there
down there on paper and it was. So I think it definitely was that
and then once we shot the pilot, I mean, David Netter taught me so much in
that 12 days. I'm working with a great cast that are all extremely
talented so I feel I got really lucky, everyone here...really likes going
to work and likes working so it's really positive. It's positive
experience."
"It's dealing more
with the theme of being alienated in high school, not knowing who you are
or where you belong and believing in yourself. Those are the issues
that it's dealing with and I could probably say that most of my friends
and even myself growing up, you think those things all the time, because
you're at the point where you question everything instead of just saying
'let's just talk about everyone's problems.' It's giving it this
roundabout way of discussing the issues everyone - I think - feels growing
up."
"Well, I think after
working on the show, you really have no choice but to believe in it
somewhat, you know? Who knows? It's kind of a great fantasy to
have - does it exist, doesn't it? Lets the imagination run wild a
little bit."
