I grew up in Oregon so I grew up around reservations, so I've always kind of had this knowledge. Not a tremendous amount of knowledge, but an outsider's knowledge of what reservation life was like.

I was addicted to the original 'Star Trek' when I was growing up, because of my dad. We grew up in St. Helens, Oregon and we weren't allowed to watch a lot of TV.

I famously had a huge television producer say to me one time, 'Can you please stop doing that to your face? It's very distracting and unattractive.' And I was like, 'You mean move it? Okay, sorry, I guess we're not going to work together.'

It's a very, very rare moment when another actor hurts you. I mean, that's not normal.

Sometimes you have to be uncomfortable.

I grew up watching science fiction and action movies. I love it. I absolutely love it!

I love playing these characters that are crazy tough, though. Because I am not in real life. Not at all.
