On her Seven of Nine costume: "Initially, I would stay in the costume much longer than I ended up staying in it, because it takes about twenty minutes to get into. Someone has to dress me and undress me. It`s a production break if I have to get out of the costume to use the rest room or something. It grinds to a halt unless they can shoot something without me, which typically they can`t, if it`s a scene that I`m in. So, in the interest of being a team player, the first season, I would not take rest room breaks, I just didn`t drink anything on set, which is not the healthiest thing to do."
