I love the direction the show's going in. It's new, it's fresh and it's tough to do that. You get into a groove with a lot of shows, but Joss always seems to turn the tables.

That's what makes him such a dangerous writer, because you never know [what's next]. One day you're on it, the next day you're dead. But I'm on the only show where you can die, and the next thing become a series regular.

I love the new direction. I'm a badass now, I get to kick some ass so that's great for me. I no longer have a suit on and a fake hand. When you walk around in a suit all day and you've got a fake hand, you can't eat lunch because your right hand has a prosthetic thing on it, so it's very tough to eat. So I'm very fortunate to have my hand back.
