Winning when pitted against American TV’s best must be a huge high…
They are American royalty in terms of actors. I can’t understand how this happened, I’m shocked and I'm still reeling from it. These are the women because of whom I wanted to do TV in America. They have created a space for themselves. They are forward thinking, amazing female lead characters that are inspirational for people around the world.
They have played such amazing characters and Alex is a representation of a modern woman which is why so many women relate to her. But just being in the same category as some of these actors is a dream come true for me. I didn’t expect to win in this category. I am very overwhelmed and grateful to everyone who voted and everyone who loved the show.
I had a concussion and before this, I didn’t know what a concussion was! The doctor told me that I can’t watch TV, read books, or focus my eyes on anything. After three days of sitting at home, I got so bored that I put on my neck brace which I was supposed to wear and went back to work. I took it off for the shots and kept working. I have been given permission to travel, so I am good now. I just can’t do action and stunts for another week.
The dress you wore for People’s Choice is being referred to as a ‘flirty dress’...
That’s a good thing, right? I just wanted to wear something springy. I was shooting in New York and it was very cold there. But when I came to Los Angeles I felt like wearing something fun, easy and light. I just wanted to let my hair down, so I chose this outfit. I always have fun on the red carpet, I don’t take it seriously. I wear dresses depending on mood and that’s what I did here.
