Everyone has secrets and everyone tells lies.

I like acting because I get to find different parts of myself, or at least create different parts that don't already exist, and see the world through someone else's eyes.

Anything crime related and anything excessively bloody and violent, my brain immediately goes to the science. I think about, "How did you do this? How can we catch you?"

How can you go wrong with playing around on a superhero show? Just the way that they do things and watching them do their thing was amazing to me. Also, superheroes are awesome!

I wanted to be a forensic scientist when I was younger. For a long time, I was studying because I wanted to do that sort of stuff.

The first show I ever worked on was The Killing, which was a whodunit crime show.

For better or worse, honeybees are often much too busy to be bothered with personal reflection.

You pick pieces of things you've experienced in life to make it real to yourself.

What very often happens when people make films about rich people, the camera is quite mesmerised by the opulence and quite theatrical in fact.
