For me, it was definitely an education in being grateful. And appreciating the civil liberties we have today, the natural liberties we have at home.

I love my job, simply because we can keep things fresh, all the time. That's a luxury not all shows have. For us, as actors, it keeps us interested in our jobs and it keeps us coming back to work, every day. A new setting is amazing 'cause it's new for the team and it's new for our characters.

I'm always ready and willing to just keep pushing and working and going because it's in my spirit.
