Claudia Black

Claudia Black: (On qualities she likes in a man) The way the man's mind works. A sense of humor. Intelligence and humor are the two most important things. And I think there's something in a man's eyes, the way he looks at you that's incredibly sexy. And if there seems to be some thought behind those eyes, rather than some fake and gormless expression. That's always a good start.

Claudia Black: If something is already funny on the page, I'm always worried that I'll screw it up. So it's nerve-wracking for me but that's part of why I accepted this opportunity on Stargate. I wanted to get more practice at doing comedy, and I certainly did with Morpheus.

Claudia Black: As for playing Vala, if I can leave work at night feeling that I've made an acting choice that wasn't expected, or if I've surprised people and made them laugh, or if I've just served the script well and not screwed up, then those are the days to remember and be proud of.
