You know, it's such an insult to actual martial artists that I say that I do martial arts.

Well, I like chocolate stuff I don't like any of that other gross sugary candy.

Through all the bad guys that I've played, they're justifiably bad - they have their reasons. It's been important to me.

I want to try new things and put myself out there and take some risks.

I could live a thousand years and still not know everything, still not have tried anything.

it's never been a plan to have this or that. It's just where I am in my life, at that time, and where my path is going to go.

I moved to L.A. right out of high school, but not to act. I think I chose it because it was on the same time zone as Seattle, where I'm from.

I was so lucky to have parents who supported me, 100%, with whatever I was doing, both financially and emotionally. Having that they made my life so much easier. Instead of becoming a bartender and trying to survive while trying to pursue your dreams, I didn't have to worry about that aspect. I could just pursue my dreams.

Anything - a destination, a person - that has some mystery around it becomes exciting and attractive.

I don't actually go out and pursue a route that will fit me best, it's just that something comes to me and I enjoy it and want to be a part of it.

I've played so many jobs where I'm fearless, but it's far from me. I wish I were like that in real life.

To be completely honest, it's shocking to me that I keep getting the villain roles! I do not see myself as the villain and I know, growing up, I was the opposite of a villain. I would never try to be a villain to anyone - but maybe other people I grew up with feel differently about that.

I'm fascinated with worlds where there's a small population left, whether it's a movie or these TV shows that fascinate me - 'Falling Skies' or 'The Walking Dead' - they are about survival and triumphing over difficult times. I just have a thing for 'em.
