Quotes

"It does make me think about what really matters. I think I tell people I love them a whole lot more often than I used to. More than inspiring me to take chances, playing Kahlan has made me stronger. I hold my ground with more ease than I did before she was in my life every day." ~ Exclusive Interview: Bridget Regan Answers Fan Questions (Legend of the Seeker), Part I ~ TVStar ~ 03.08.10

"Tab and I are a bit of a little team because our fighting styles are also quite similar, so we work together on that. And we're both in the make-up chair pretty damn early.

It's great and a wonderful feeling." ~ BRIDGET REGAN (Legend of the Seeker) Exclusive Interview ~ Daemon's TV ~ 02.12.10

"The job I did before this was a comedy, and you can tell on stage whether a joke lands or not, whether they laugh or are asleep in the front row.

"We all work really hard and know when we have to buckle down, but most of the time we just play. We approach work like it's play.

I'm really enjoying Season 2." ~ Bridget Regan heating up Legend of the Seeker ~ Qatar Tribune ~ 12.19.09

"Once they're in, everything is red. It's pretty intense, especially when you go out in the sun.

It's absolutely bizarre." ~ Exclusive Interview: Bridget Regan (Legend of the Seeker) ~ PopStar ~ 12.12.09

"I was a bit scared going into it - 'Oh gosh, what am I in for, what am I doing?' - but it was kind of a good scary. It was scary and exciting, and I thought I should do this, take the plunge. It's actually turned out to be really, really cool, and I'm proud that I did it, because it wasn't an easy decision to pack up my life and move." ~ Interview with Bridget Regan, "Legend of the Seeker" ~ Hulu Blog ~ 11.15.09

"I love acting every day ... I go to work in the dark usually, around four thirty.

I'm really enjoying my life down there." ~ Bridget Regan from Legend Of The Seeker Interview ~ The TV Chick ~ 11.07.09

Online ~ 11.06.09

My love of theater and acting all stem from me being obsessed with musical theater." ~ The PCZ Interview With Bridget Regan From 'Legend Of The Seeker' ~ Pop Culture Zoo ~ 11.06.09

"It's one of the joys of playing a character. I've never played a character this long and I went and I did another part in between these seasons and it was like totally jarring because I've been playing Kahlan for 9 months and playing something else is like turning rusty wheels that haven't been turned." ~ Legend of the Seeker Season 2 Cast Interview ~ KDAF ~ 11.04.09

"I've really enjoyed it; working in a new place so far from my home, which has been an adventure in itself ... It's a great thing in terms of my growing as a person ...

After a few more years under my belt, I could try." ~ Bridget Regan Previews Legend of the Seeker Finale ~ TV Guide Magazine ~ 05.22.09

"I was so bad at it and I hated it. 'When am I ever going to use this?!' I'm rolling my eyes - the worst grades I ever got in drama school were always in stage combat.

"The physical challenges, emotional challenges, they're not for the faint of heart.

"I'm getting to play a different character that's inhabiting Kahlan's body. That's such a great challenge. A few episodes ago I got to play a Mord'Sith. I did not expect that to happen ... I keep asking, 'Are we going to get a dragon? Is there going to be a dragon in the last episode? I really want a dragon.'" ~ What Seeker's Regan hopes for season two. Hint: It flies and breathes fire ~ SCI FI Wire ~ 02.24.09

"They dyed it once I moved to New Zealand and they chemically straightened it, and I was like 'Who am I?' It was like a good week of catching myself in the mirror going 'Ha' (laughs) ... I am really thankful they kept my eyes as they are, I feel like it's nice to not have any sort of untrue qualities." ~ Interview: Bridget Regan from 'Legend of the Seeker' ~ Daemon's TV ~ 02.23.09

"Sometimes I struggle to find parallels in my life ... I've had to throw that out the window certain days and just go, 'You're not Bridget.

"Bruce is just so lovely to work with, and we have this unique, special, almost father-daughter relationship, but at the same time Kahlan and Zedd are equals ... The coolest thing about Craig and I is that we both got the jobs, packed our bags, moved to New Zealand and dove into it." ~ Bridget Regan Interview ~ Sci Fi Weekly ~ 11.02.08

"The world is not the world that we know ... I find it a world you can really escape into because it is so different ... They've really shot the show so beautifully that it doesn't look like anything on television that I know of ... They point the camera in any direction when we're outside, and it's just gorgeous, because it's New Zealand." ~ Seeker Grounded, Fantastical ~ Sci Fi Wire ~ 11.02.08

It's so beautiful, these gorgeous backdrops, trees, mountain ranges, rolling hills." ~ Career Catching Fire: UNCSA Grad Has A Leading Role ~ Winston-Salem Journal ~ 11.01.08

"In terms of the life experience of me going and moving to New Zealand for the show has really worked well in my favor in terms of the acting work because Kahlan has given up everything to fight this mission. And I kind of gave up everything I knew to go and do the show so it worked out pretty well." ~ Legend of the Seeker Star Bridget Regan Confesses ~ IGN ~ 10.31.08

"We're always pushing things to the limit and seeing how much we can take, how much we can handle. And I love that, because it means we have to keep fighting, we have to stay strong and keep pushing." ~ Seeker Spins New Tales ~ Sci Fi Wire ~ 10.29.08
