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!
— Morena Baccarin
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 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.
My hair is normally really unkempt - I'll just use my sunglasses like a headband or throw on a felt cloche by Behida Dolic in windy weather.
My son's baby paraphernalia always ends up in my bag.
I do think it is possible to be in love with two people at the same time.
If you watch the news, you see politicians use human vulnerabilities to get in and earn people's trust.
I've love to do more movies. Just because I'm interested in the medium very much. I've done a lot of theatre at this point, and I've done a lot of TV. I've done a few independent films, but a lot of them have not seen the light of day. It'd be really nice to be in a film that gets out there.
Women work as much as men now, if not more. There's a resurgence of dads in the home and moms working.
I feel that I have grown so much as an actor being on 'Homeland.'
Humans have a sense of spontaneity and emotion. We have a dichotomy between grief and happiness.
My mom was incredibly supportive when she found out that I wanted to be an actress, and that certainly made things easier and more fun.
They have a joy for life in Brazil unlike any country I've ever seen.
I'm kind of a workaholic.
In Brazil, you are very close to your family; we saw our cousins every weekend, and my grandmother lived with us.
You see those magazines, 'Oh, look at so-and-so without makeup, Halle Berry without makeup.' It's so crazy to wake up in the morning and have that thought - 'Do I need to put makeup on? Do I need to do something because I know people are going to know who I am?'
I'm one of those people who has a toothbrush and toothpaste with me at all times. After lunch, I'll brush my teeth in a restaurant bathroom!
There are many people who live with terrorism every day.
I can't complain. I'm making a living out of what I do, which is really rare for a lot of actors. The hard part is staying confident and staying with it.
I would love to be a Bond girl. That is on my bucket list, definitely.
My mom is an actress, but she never really pushed me into it, and it was never something I thought I would be doing. She was very happy I decided to, but she certainly doesn't offer me criticism because she knows I'd tell her to shut up! Nobody wants to hear that from their mum!
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 love it when you have a lull in the day and you turn on the TV and a random movie is on that you either have never seen or haven't seen in years. Like 'Coming to America' or 'Misery' or 'Moonstruck.'
Brazil has a lot of issues that are similar to a lot of countries in Latin America, but the dominant issue Brazil is dealing with is poverty and political corruption.
I love 'Modern Family;' I don't exactly watch it when it's on, but I try to catch up on it when I can; it's one of my favorite shows.
We're all interested in life outside of Earth. We all have a fascination with what's out there because we don't really know.
I was your typical pregnant lady - pickles and watermelon.
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.
I tend to wear flats and jeans and no makeup and walk around, go to the grocery store, and do whatever I have to do.
I always keep a little bit of Lindt or Ghirardelli milk chocolate for when I'm stuck in traffic. And I'm a big fan of Mentos during long plane rides.
My whole family is very artistic - my uncles are all actors and theatre directors.
I'm an avid cook. Brazilian, some Italian, a little French. And I often throw dinner parties.
When I'm not working, I'm definitely a no-makeup girl. The most I ever do is a little tinted moisturizer and a little mascara and blush.
I'm not always up to date on everything that's going on, but I am somewhat informed. I listen to NPR. And I actually watch Fox News, because I believe, if you just listen to the things that agree with you, you're not really seeing anything else.
I get nervous for any competition. I also get really competitive.
I love a good road trip. And I have been known to sing cheesy '80s songs at the top of my lungs on a windy road when no one can hear.
I've had long hair, I've had short hair, and I've had in between hair... and its all good.
The sky above us is something we have very little control of, and the space beyond is something we don't completely understand.
