Morena Baccarin

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

I get nervous for any competition. I also get really competitive.

My mother put me on birth control as soon as I told her I wanted to go on it. I was 16. I was very young.

I knew I wanted to be an actress as soon as I popped out.

A free life cannot acquire many possessions, because this is not easy to do without servility to mobs or monarchs.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.
