My whole family is very artistic - my uncles are all actors and theatre directors.

There are many people who live with terrorism every day.

My son's baby paraphernalia always ends up in my bag.

I use Lina Hanson Global Face Serum every night. It's a blend of 100 per cent natural essential oils from all over the world, many of which are produced by women's cooperatives.

For a long time, I had this constant feeling that I just wanted to look behind me. The hairs on my neck were standing up all the time, I didn't know where was safe.

In Brazil, you are very close to your family; we saw our cousins every weekend, and my grandmother lived with us.

I got a little bit used to people stopping me in the street with 'V,' at least in America. Not that I think you ever really get used to it. It will always be a shock to be recognised for anything.

I was your typical pregnant lady - pickles and watermelon.

I'm kind of a workaholic.

Coming from 'V' into 'Homeland' was a really big change and the best gift as an actor you can get - which is to transform so drastically from one genre to the next, from lizard to human being!

I have this internal cultural struggle where there's a side of me that is very Brazilian that misses the food and culture, and a side of me that's very American that really loves the structure and predictability here.

I feel that my drive and ambition is more American, while the passionate, laid-back side of me is all Brazilian.

You learn to not take things personally and to just let it roll off of you.

It was humbling to see how many fans there are of 'Serenity.' It's like an underground fan base.

What I say is the only thing I can control.

I understand people are curious, but it doesn't matter. My personal life is my personal life.

With a toddler, chilling out is hard to do.

You've got to bring your A-game when you're in the same household as a military guy.

I've had some strange fan encounters, that's for sure.

There are some roles that are more still and internal and emotional, and others that are more physical, which get you out of your mind for a while.

I grew up in the States, but I go back to Brazil quite often, and a big part of me is very Brazilian, so there's a constant struggle between the two cultures within me. They're very different approaches to life.

I certainly am not doing nudity because I think lightly of it - I don't think it's something that one should just jump into without thinking about it.

It's incredibly fun as an actor to get to play different styles and different genres for completely different audiences.

I swim laps, which is nice because I'm weightless in the water.

My dad was a news editor for a Brazilian news station, and they had offices in New York and London.

That's the charm of Deadpool. He's charmingly annoying, and he'll be the first to admit that.

It's rare that this woman gets to be in a superhero movie and not be the victim.

'Gotham' was something that just popped up for me.

I'd like to think that every job and every step I've taken progressed more and more toward the career that I've wanted to have.

Sci-fi fans are a different breed. They are so loyal, it's unbelievable. They've seen every sci-fi thing I've done, and then they started watching 'Homeland' because I was in it.

I feel like I go in on a lot of things that I want to be going in for.

You go on a million auditions anyway as an actor, and one out of a hundred, you get. It's a hard life, but you can't really think about it that way.

I think I'm more the method acting school.

I've done some sitcoms here and there, but nothing long term.

I had a very liberal family.

My mom never cared if I came home dirty from playing outside with my brother. If I got my dress muddy, or my jeans were ripped, or I got blood on something. But I think a lot of girls have a different experience.

My first role was in a Nativity play. My mom was playing Mary, and I was crying backstage, so she brought me out as Baby Jesus.

Going from one kid to two kids is insane.
