I just want to reitterate what everyone else has said. In fiction and in TV, the old cliche "no man is an island" really applies.
Look at BSG in the mini-series: Until we meet Lee, all we know about Adama is that *everyone* he has a work relationship with admires and respects him almost as a father figure. Yet when we actually meet his son, we find out that Lee feels Adama is a terrible father, to the point of blaming him for Zak's death.
I doubt that AT meant only her character's romantic relationships. No actress worth her salt would want to play a character that only reacted to what her lovers said/did. She plays a character who is very three deminsional; she'll react externally to situation and people, but she also has to look at her character's history, and react to what elements of that would bring to each scene. Think of her final episode with her "father" this year for the perfect blending of all three.
