I'm not from the States, so Thanksgiving, for me, was never a huge tradition.

I know a lot of procedurals have huge viewership, yet they're never nominated for awards.

I was born here in the States. I moved to Portugal when I was five. And then my parents put me in an English school.

I do have a huge fascination for science, and I love to hear what my dad has to say. He used to take me into minor surgeries when I was a kid and let me watch, so I definitely have a passion for it, but it's not as big a passion as I have for acting and creating characters.

When you go to an audition, don't hang on to it because no matter how well you feel it went or how badly, you just never know what the outcome is going to be.

I've met real female NCIS agents who were smaller than I am. They were very petite.
