My priority is to hang out with the ones I love - my family, my loved ones.
Cancer runs in our family. I lost my grandmother to it. There's a saying that you meet people and instantly know them. My grandmother and I had that. The first time my heart was broken was when my grandmother passed away. I was twenty-one.
I've seen the majestic beauty of nature and the overwhelming perfection of it. To me, there's nothing closer to God than that.
Coming from the theater, I love the adrenalin rush from working on 'NCIS.' You get home and you're exhausted, but you feel like you've really worked.
I love being at home, having friends over.
I think if education was celebrated in pop culture, we'd live in a better place.
I'm in a long-term relationship with Diego Serrano, and I'm very happy. He's the worst influence that I have ever had in my life, and I love him for it.
I love the Discovery Channel. I love all sorts of medical shows.
I love the Discovery Channel. I love all sorts of medical shows. I love a show called 'Diagnosis: Unknown.'
I'm not on Facebook. I'm not on Twitter. I know a lot of celebrities who go around complaining how little privacy they have.
Leaving 'NCIS' was not planned, so there is no plan. If I were panicking now, it would defeat the purpose.
As long as a character doesn't die, the character can always come back.
If you asked me what my dream would be - obviously, 'NCIS' is a dream to me - I'd like to be on a period show.
I'm not on Facebook. I'm not on Twitter. I know a lot of celebrities who go around complaining how little privacy they have. And then my question to that is always, 'Well, how much of yourself are you putting out there?'
If you are everywhere, then you've sacrificed the very thing that you are complaining about, which is your own privacy.
I have to have eight hours a night. I feel that everything falls apart if you don't sleep. If I spend four hours memorizing dialogue but don't sleep, then the next day I will not be able to stand in front of the camera and say my lines. For me, sleep...
I actually speak fluent English and Spanish and... I dabble in a couple of languages, but I'm not fluent in German, Russian and Arabic.
I came to the States when I was ten, and that was, in many ways, very hard.
I believe that a lot of what we put in our bodies really can harm us. It's been proven that people who eat Mediterranean and Japanese diets live for a very long time.
I like to be grounded by nature, go hiking... go to an isolated island that's not glamorous and touristy at all.
