Elizabeth: I think sometimes in shows the characters are not very relatable because maybe they have a lot of money or their circumstances are unusual. I think in October Road the characters are people that most people know in their own lives.
Elizabeth: (on playing her character in "October Road") It's a little bit of a tough character to play because obviously I've made a really bad decision. On the show the character of Owen, my husband, is a very likable character. So, you don't want people thinking I'm a total villain and a horrible person.
Elizabeth: (on choosing between intellect and sexy accent) Intellect. I love people who are well read.
Elizabeth: (on choosing between breakfast and dinner) Breakfast. I enjoy hearty natural cereals.
Elizabeth: (on choosing between dance and drama) Drama. Although I'm a trained dancer, and have danced professionally, I still prefer drama.
Elizabeth: (on choosing between Jane Austen and John Grisham) Jane Austen. Her writing is intelligent, romantic and a true classic.
Elizabeth: (on choosing between Sarah McLachlan and Mariah Carey) Sarah McLachlan. I love to sit and have a glass of wine and listen to her music.
