Amanda Tapping quotes:

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 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

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

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.

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.
