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 am a big one for subtlety and empathy. My dad was softly spoken and didn't carry his honours and accomplishments for everyone to see.

Why do men fight who were born to be brothers?

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.
