"Acting isn't the be-all end-all. There are a lot of other things in my life that will bring me joy if I didn't act anymore." - Victoria Pratt
"Cast changes are a hard thing. For two years, we had this little family. We weren't together when these changes were decided upon. It all happened during our hiatus." - Victoria Pratt
"I approach my character with the question: What would an animal think? How would an animal respond? A lot of times, it's quick action and no fear, and sometimes it's irrational fear. You don't always know." - Victoria Pratt

"I didn't hope for anything. It just happened. So it's not like I was a little kid saying I want to be an actress, I want to be an actress. And I didn't tough it out in the trenches for years and years before ever getting a job. My very first audition, I got the series. It's been grand." - Victoria Pratt

"I fight a lot on my own with a bag, with a heavy bag. So I get used to kicking and doing my combinations with resistance." - Victoria Pratt
"I hate hearing about actors who don't like the show. There are so many actors out there who'd give their right arm for what I'm getting to do." - Victoria Pratt
"I have a university degree in kinesiology and worked in a physiotherapy clinic. I also worked at the human performance lab at York University testing lead athletes and was writing a book with a professor when I started fitness modeling, and acting sprouted from that." - Victoria Pratt
"I have guinea pigs. Yes, I'm a geek. I have two guinea pigs; their names are Smooth'em and Luella Loo. Smooth'em was named after my greatgrandad's cat, and Luella Loo reminds me of a girl I used to know." - Victoria Pratt
"I know Shalimar better than anyone else, and I really believe it's the actor's job to protect that knowledge." - Victoria Pratt

"I think I've paid my dues. I've really put in a lot of time on set." - Victoria Pratt

"I would be very happy doing movies. I love to work and I think I'm a little different." - Victoria Pratt

"I've been really fortunate to go from series to series to series." - Victoria Pratt

"If I were attacked, I would turn around and attack back. I have to go through it each time, figure out which way to go." - Victoria Pratt
"If you watch the show and the characters don't look at each other while they're talking, the actors probably aren't getting along." - Victoria Pratt

"Linda Hamilton is my hero. She was so tough and so strong and so vulnerable at the same time. I think that's what woman action figures are allowed to be: vulnerable, in a way that women are." - Victoria Pratt

"Neither one of us have a dainty laugh, so there's just peels of laughter coming from the set all the time and I love that. I love it, love it, love it, love it." - Victoria Pratt
"People get on a show and they fought tooth and nail. Almost 95% of the actors out there want to be on a television series. Then as soon as they get onto one, no, no, I want to be a movie star. This television series stuff, no, no no." - Victoria Pratt
"That's the thing with sci-fi and action roles. You have to play the danger as real. If you don't, you end up with egg on your face. You have to commit. You can't think about how stupid it might look without the special effects." - Victoria Pratt
"The audience can see female vulnerability in this action role. If you take my last two roles, Sarge had very little vulnerability. She was like a machine. When they came to me with Shalimar, she was Sarge-like." - Victoria Pratt
"The first season, the clothes were so fantastical no one could relate to them. Now we're a lot more casual." - Victoria Pratt

"When you're fighting with a stunt person, your intent is to miss." - Victoria Pratt
"With Mutant X, we're not on some spaceship in the future. We're living in present day. I mean, look around at what's going on with genetic manipulation. The show's premise may be unlikely, but it's not impossible to believe." - Victoria Pratt
"Women can't be afraid to look like action heroes. It's not always pretty, but when it's on the screen, it translates well to the audience." - Victoria Pratt
"You show your vulnerability through relationships, and those feelings are your soft spot. You need to have a soft spot." - Victoria Pratt
