Sarah says...

"I love Xander's voice so much that I listen to his voice mails over and over."

"I feel completely equal with Xander, in my mind and in myself."

"It was non-stop from day one. I got cast on the show, I met Xander, and all of a sudden I'm living in Hollywood."

"Things have moved so fast that I still catch myself wondering how it happened. But it's a nice thing to have to get used to."

"With Xander, it seems like this is exactly who I'm supposed to be with and where I'm supposed to go."

"Okay, it's me, it's me! I just wanted to say that I'm marrying George!"

"I spy on Xander when he's painting and sculpting."

"My first crush was on King Kong. I know that's kind of weird, but I thought of him as the ultimate protector."

"I drove a Jetta all through college, but then I got into this horrible car crash. I was fine, but my little car was totaled, and I never got a Jetta again. Two years later, cut to me in New York, not needing a car anyway, and getting the Jetta commercial."

"After meeting Xander, I rented his film 'Shanghai Noon'. His character totally played into my badboy fantasies. I was a goner."

"I'm not as ruthless as Nina. Playing her is all about ambition, greed and protecting herself. She pursues what she wants, but I'm not that way."

"Cooking stresses me out. Xander is a gourmet chef, and when he's not home, I eat peanut-butter-and-bacon sandwiches."

"I was pleasantly surprised by where Nina went. In the beginning, I didn't really understand who she was - just part of the staff that was at CTU. Was she technical? Field agent? I wasn't sure. Then, I found out I was the confidant, the one to be trusted. Then, she'd been in love - I still have feelings - then the mole. That was a wonderful surprise. I always want a secret. It was such a complicated, complex role."

"I used to fantasize about going on the TV show Bowling for Dollars. I'm not even a good bowler."

"As an actor, you always want a secret."

"I really loved this character [Nina] as a role model for people. I thought 'hey, this is great, people can see women in power, getting what they want, and doing the right thing in the world'. And then I find out that the whole thing is a sham..."

"It's a very interesting way to know somebody, in the dark. All you can focus on is their voice."

"I was a little embarassed that I'd come out to do this professional job and then hooked up with someone on the set. I didn't want anybody making any judgments. It was so much more important than a fling and I just didn't want people talking about it."

"It's very difficult you asking me what I think about him when he's sitting right next to me."

"People really do mix it up - and when you play a terrorist it's kind of frightening."

"I've always had this thing about being short, so to be perceived as tall is really thrilling."

"Clearly, I had no clue about being the mole."

"I don't think [Nina] started off bad and I don't think a lot of people that do bad things start there."

"I went in there and saw him putting all this lipstick on."

"Talking to Joel [Surnow] and really fleshing it out, it made perfect sense that I played a great double agent."

"Certainly you come away with some bruises when you do a show like this and I think I got even more beat up in the second season!"

"Initially, I didn't tell as single soul that I was the mole."

"Aha! A gun holster? What do you know?"

"Xander and I had gotten married between the seasons. The funny thing was that when I did come back to work we had been in Mexico and were both nicely tanned. So I thought I was in a prison and had a nice glow from working in the prison yard and Xander has been radiated and he can have a nice glow too."

"It's really lucky when you have a set-up when so many things are unsaid between characters. As long as you trust the energy of the other person, it's all going to translate."

"When they did bring me back I was excited because it's always fun to return. But the one thing I did say was, “Please don't torture me for six episodes.” I didn't want it to be about horrible torture. It's draining, physically, and I knew that could be the potential when you are the bad person."

"The show was such a wild ride to begin with but meeting Xander was quite the highlight."

"As much fun as it is to play a villain, when you are bringing a modicum of reality to it, it can be quite draining."

"I'm so flattered and lucky that I got to play Nina."

"Let me try to say what attracted me to him. I think it was that in this business you meet a lot of the same sort of people and he was different. That's what caught me."

About Sarah...

Xander says...

"With Sarah there was a sense of meeting someone at eye level, so that took precedence and eliminated any sense of disparity of ages."

"I've written poems for Sarah, but I'm convinced they won't live up how great she is."

"I sketch Sarah while she sleeps. I have drawings of her that she doesn't know about."

"We had the horse and carriage and an Irish band playing. It was the most romantic wedding you could ever dream of."

"I think she's such an amazing actor, I really do. I really think that she's an extraordinary presence on camera. She came to acting much later than I did, but she just has such great instincts. I am really intrigued by what she'll be able to do with transformations. It's a little bit that she's gotten to do to show me what potential she has to play a really wide variety of characters, and she has a great ear. That's clear in 24, just what she did with Farsi and Russian, different things that she did right off the bat that made the character powerful and dynamic and bone-chilling."

"I think from the first day, from the first moment we met, we knew there was something."

"In directing, I feel that I'll rely heavily on Sarah's editorial sensibilities because she was a photographer before and she has a really keen eye."

"It was so much fun going to work together and helping each other. It's one of the great joys that continues to be in the relationship, of just trusting her instincts and her take. She is so smart and can break down a script so well."

Fellow co-stars say...

"That's Nina... and I hadn't even heard her voice yet. There was something in her eyes..." - Joel Surnow, writer and producer, 24

"Sarah and I had a fastastic time working together again. I think that's probably one of the most exciting aspects of the second season, when you bring a character back from the first year." - Kiefer Sutherland, actor and producer, 24

"Sarah Clarke absolutely knocked me out this season. Her look was great, her level of intesity was amazing, and when you think back to the kind of nice office girl she was in the first season to where she is now, it's amazing and she made them both incredibly believeable. And it's a hard show to act sometimes because you say so little and have to convey so much, just with looks and movement, and that's what she did and we were thrilled." - Joel Surnow, writer and producer, 24

"[Sarah] ended up getting the role of Nina and did such a great job with that. She was fantastic!" - Reiko Aylesworth, actress, 24

"I was reading through the script and somewhere around page 28, I shoot Nina, and I was like 'Oh my God they fired Nina! That's horrible!' So then I get 20 pages down the road, and she's alive and I'm like, 'Oh, good! Okay!'" - Kiefer Sutherland, actor and producer, 24

"There's our wonderful Sarah Clarke. Being tough and evil." - Joel Surnow, writer and producer, 24

"[Nina's] eyes really told her story, that's why it's completely believable." - Penny Johnson Jerald, actress, 24

"It was hard to kill her [Nina]. Because the dynamic between our characters worked so well. That... if we were ever to run into trouble, you just bring Sarah back, and everything would be alright. Just a wonderful actress." - Kiefer Sutherland, actor and producer, 24

"Sarah Clarke did such a great job [with Nina]. We're different actresses and our characters are supposed to be different. I wouldn't even try to do what she did last season." - Reiko Aylesworth, actress, 24

"Watching Sarah play the scene, and what she did with it, was so good!" - Leslie Hope, actress, 24

Press room...

"Nina is the sexiest thing on television." - David Thomson, Salon.com

"Nina is a big part of 24's charm." - Lauren Walker, Salon.com

"Nina is the hottest woman still alive on '24' and I hope they use her as the sultry center of the second season." - David Thomson, Salon.com

"Ah, Nina Myers – she may have made Jack's life a living hell, but it certainly was entertaining watching her cause havoc wherever she went." - Tara DiLullo, 24 Magazine

"As Nina, Clarke was mystertious, sexy and tough - she filled the screen." - Fiona Morrow, Culture

"Clarke's Nina is cold when needed, supportive when she has to be and just sexually alluring enough to set a new standard for what a femme fatale is." - Adam Varn, Twistid.com

"Nina hasn't had a break, a catnap or time for a shower or a change of clothes. She's been in the same drab black outfit all along, and her makeup has gone very faint. It doesn't matter; Nina is a knockout still, and so beautiful and so intelligent-looking..." - David Thomson, Salon.com

"The only thing Sarah Clarke is guilty of is having convinced millions of viewers that 24's Nina was a good gal. It's hardly treason. In fact, for an actress, it's a measure of a job well done." - Fiona Morrow, Culture

"I'm sure we won't be seeing the last of Sarah Clarke on the show or anywhere else in Hollywood and if she even brings half the talent she has brought to Nina, it will be an amazing thing to behold." - Adam Varn, Twistid.com

"I have to give props to actress Sarah Clarke for her pitch-perfect delivery of these ambiguous facial expressions that are still keeping me guessing whose side she's on." - Gustave, TelevisionWithoutPity.com

"Sarah Clarke turned what could have been a one-note treasonous bitch into a finely tuned performance with surprising layers and blistering on-screen chemistry with Kiefer Sutherland." - Tara DiLullo, 24 Magazine

"Nina (Sarah Clarke), the in-house villainess who killed Jack's wife at the end of the last season, now seems to be channeling the combined spirits of Patty Hearst, the Baader-Meinhof gang, and the youthful members of the PLO every time she glances at her nemesis with glittering, malevolent eyes. Needless to say, she looks sexy as hell doing it. " - Brendan Bernhard, LA Weekly
