Quoted as Saying:

"One of the most interesting things about that show ["Roswell"] for me was that because Isabel was an alien, I got to do many things, so that was creatively satisfying. I think anyone's fear of getting involved in a show that could run for several years is that you'll be playing only one character for that long; that can get stale for an actor, so on "Roswell," I really lucked out."
