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 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.

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.

Fame is neither something to value nor to view as a threat.

If you have to eat two frogs, eat the ugliest one first."This is another way of saying that if you have two important tasks before you, start with the biggest, hardest, and most important task first.

Life is just an endless chain of judgements. . . . The more imperfect our judgement the less perfect our success.

I am a vigilant monarchist. I want to see things evolve. The direction the monarchy seems to be moving in - towards a more mainland-European model - is one I would feel sympathetic about.

You know, a man's life is the most precious thing in the world, isn't it? So isn't it odd that a man will insure everything but his life?

Society rests upon conscience, not upon science.

No. I usually rest in my satin-lined coffin, actually. I'm not allowed out in daylight hours.

That’s why; he’s worried about how his life is turning out, and he’s lonely, and lonely people are the bitterest of them all
