I love Spain. It's my favorite country that I've been to and I've traveled quite a bit. I've been really fortunate as an adult to have been to a lot of interesting places like Egypt and China.

I got kicked out in grade school because I staged a riot because I wanted more library time.

I am never happier than when I am on set and getting to act. And I can't wait for what is yet to come.

My not-so-fun traits are that I get very impatient and I can be really stubborn.

I think acting for sure takes a lot of dedication, especially when you're starting out, because it's so much rejection and it's so important to really study and know your craft.

I speak Spanish because I grew up overseas in Spain, Uruguay and Argentina.

I think Latin American cultures are really rich and fascinating. I like the pomp and circumstance of some of their rituals and ceremonies.

What we do is inherently self-centered and sort of narcissistic. It's hard to really be thinking about myself all of the time when I have a dog who needs me to be caring for him twenty-four seven.

I don't watch scary movies. Sometimes, even having to read the script and do an episode of 'Grimm', I get a little tense because I know someone's going to jump out of somewhere.

Portland is a really great city, especially because I'm a shopper and there's no sales tax! That really adds up so fast, because in California, a $1000 pair of shoes ends up costing another $100.

The loss of a child is my greatest nightmare.

Spiritual deception is dangerous -and damning.

Great stories move through fear.

One of the annoying things when you're in a movie is that gets talked about is everyone projects meaning onto everyone's intentions.

I'm not trying to create an image or a persona. I'm just singing because that's what I know how to do.

That is why, according to this newer psychology, Christianity has already fulfilled its biological mission, and it is impossible for the modern man to understand its original significance.

I never thought I'd be in a family that has more people than a small country.

I think a double bass for me would be too much effort. But the cello, you're really engaged and the sound is kind of right here. So, it feels like being merged, married to an instrument.
