Elizabeth Lackey

Elizabeth: (on missing Australia) I miss it, but you go where the work is… until you can afford to retire and go where you want!

Elizabeth: (on why Aussies do well in America) We have this uncanny ability to laugh at ourselves, and Americans don't have that. They're great - they're very happy, hospitable people - but they can take themselves very seriously.

Elizabeth: I don't have a competitive nature, so I didn't want to win anything. So Heroes is great because I actually get to act. I don't have the type of role where I've got to be gorgeous or glamorous or worried about my weight or what I look like.

Elizabeth: I feel like all my life I've tried to be part of something, but I've always felt unnatural. I went through a period where I felt really misunderstood and like no one 'got' me. But then I realised it was completely OK to be like that.

Elizabeth: (on becoming a mother for the first time) I guess I'm nervous and excited. I really don't have a clue what to do, but I'm sure I can just make it up as I go along.

Elizabeth: (on the theatre) I am most content when I am on stage pretending to be somebody else.

Elizabeth: (on her worst job) The worst job I ever had was being a checkout girl. I couldn't handle it at all. I was only there for about a day before I had had enough.
