Yancy is actually a Native-American name, but I’m Irish. Go figure.
My mother’s side of the family was in the production side of theatre. My grandfather, Jose Vega, was a general manager for Neil Simon shows on Broadway.
My taste in music and entertainment is quite eclectic.
A comic can be aesthetically beautiful. I think they captured it beautifully and accurately.
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 pretty much make time for that weekly manicure.
I’m just an actress. They try to give me as little information as possible.
I dig science fiction, though it was never really my thing.
I can be extremely vulnerable. People are tough on me because they think I can handle it.
I hope I don’t just sit around moping for two years.
Don’t we all just really try to fake it well?
Women have been kicking ass for centuries.
I think seeing some of the past can be helpful, especially if you’re into crime solving.
I’ve spent a lot of time and money trying to keep my anger in control.
I think sometimes women who are supposed to be strong are also written as mean and vindictive.
I’ve always played strong women who are doing their own thing.
I am so happy to be on a show with writing I wanted to participate in.
To say I’m the easiest person to live with would be a lie.
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.
People just kind of associate me with kicking some ass.
Once you get into a part, and someone sees you, you get asked to do it again.
