This month alone, Strahovski made her Broadway debut in a revival of Clifford Odet’s Golden Boy and became romantically entangled with television’s most notorious serial killer during an arc on Dexter. Later this month, Strahovski continues her momentum with a role in Guilt Trip, the holiday comedy starring Seth Rogen and Barbra Streisand.
Amidst her frenzied schedule, Strahovski took a break on Monday afternoon to answer fan questions in one of VF.com’s first-ever “Twitterviews,” moderated by Vanity Fair’s West Coast editor, Krista Smith. Below, highlights of the Q&A (with spelling and punctuation spiffed up slightly for easier reading):
Krista Smith: So excited to chat—how was your opening night on Broadway #GoldenBoy?
Yvonne Strahovski: Fantastic, overwhelming, exhilarating and full of firsts!!!

@stranger94 asks: Have you ever thought about directing a film for the big or small screen?
I have def thought about directing but probably not right now.
@ymblue32 asks: Do you find it hard/easy to watch your own work?
I’m so used to watching myself on screen now that it isn’t usually a big deal. Only sometimes I feel weird .
@marissaeisele asks: Does the #GoldenBoy cast have a ritual before every performance?
Not together as a cast but we all individually have funny things we HAVE to do before the curtain goes up .
@settleprecious asks: What is the #1 thing on your bucket list?
Trekking through the Himalayas in Nepal and laying my eyes on Mt. Everest.
@chuckingout asks: What was it like playing a pregnant woman for the movie #GuiltTrip?
So fun! I love wearing the preggers suit and having my hair brown—a totally different look for me hmmmm .
@myfavneighbors asks: You’ve been in the U.S. for over 6 years. What’s one American landmark you still want to visit?
Well, I’ve already been there but I HAVE to go back coz it’s soo gorgeous . . . Monument Valley . . . so beautiful.

Smashing my head through fake glass when I fought DeKay in the kitchen in that flashback episode. I kept laughing.
@juliewmiller asks: On Dexter, you play a serial killer’s love interest. What is the scariest trait seen in a real-life boyfriend?
Thankfully no bf has ever wanted 2 kill me (as far as i know) worse than a bad argument .

A Chuck movie. Hmm. A lot of powers that be would have to agree and make it happen!!!
