Yancy Butler

A comic can be aesthetically beautiful. I think they captured it beautifully and accurately.

Don't we all just really try to fake it well?

I am so happy to be on a show with writing I wanted to participate in.

I can be extremely vulnerable. People are tough on me because they think I can handle it.

I dig science fiction, though it was never really my thing.

I grew up in Greenwich Village. Dad was friends with John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

I had to skydive for the movie and I was terrified. Like everybody, I thought it was going to be one of those experiences that changes your life. It didn't.

I love old movies. The '40s theatre pace is fantastic.

I never worked less than 16-hour days on South Beach.

I'll try anything once.

I'm just an actress. They try to give me as little information as possible.

I'm the oldest 26-year-old I know. A lot of experience has been crammed into a short amount of time. Some days I feel a good 65, 70. Like I want to lie down.

My junior high was dreadful. I see a lot of my fellow alumni on America's Most Wanted.

My taste in music and entertainment is quite eclectic.

Once you get into a part, and someone sees you, you get asked to do it again.

People just kind of associate me with kicking some ass.

To say I'm the easiest person to live with would be a lie.

Whether it goes to series or stands by itself, I'm proud of what we did with it, not only from the standpoint of what it could have been, but for itself.

Women have been kicking ass for centuries.

Yancy is actually a Native-American name, but I'm Irish. Go figure.
