Access Hollywood recently chatted with Morena about Homeland, leaving ‘V’ behind and leaving her signature pixie cut behind.

“It’s nice to be human again and play emotions and to have a lot going on emotionally,” Morena told Access Hollywood after Showtime’s “Homeland” panel at the Television Critics Association Summer Session 2011 in Beverly Hills on Thursday.

In “Homeland,” Morena stars as Jessica Brody, wife to Scott Brody (Damian Lewis), a military man who is rescued after being an Al Qaida prisoner of war for eight years, long after everyone thought he had been killed, and after her character has moved on with a new lover.
