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 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 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.

Men of power have not time to read, yet men who do not read are not fit for power.

Don't expect others to hand success to you. Create it - with heart, energy and enterprise - and you'll make it come true

If a man is worth knowing at all, he is worth knowing well.

We are against any WMD, any weapons of mass destruction, whether chemical or nuclear.

Anger does not make history. Power does. And power may be supplemented by anger, but it derives from more fundamental realities; geography, demographics, technology, and culture.

It took me longer to get through this site, than to get outside at Waimea.

There are a million people who can come up with little bits. The hard work is making those bits into something.

When I write lyrics, I really do go into an automatic folk appropriation mode... I see the vernacular register of 20th century song as being a bunch of forms to adapt and reconfigure.

Reason speaks in words alone, but love has a song.

A good disposition I far prefer to gold; for gold is the gift of fortune; goodness of disposition is the gift of nature. I prefer much rather to be called good than fortunate.
