Part of what makes me love acting so much is, I love the mystery of the universe and the human experience, and storytelling is a great way to perform that, and that is always inspiring to me.
Mariana KlavenoI grew up in such a small area that there really weren't any acting classes. So I had to wait till I got to college, at the University of Washington. I was a theater major there and got my training. Then after college, I packed up my Honda Civic and kind of fulfilled the clichรฉ of driving down to Los Angeles, and literally, brick by brick - you know, the slow and painful way - I built my career.
Mariana KlavenoThere's nothing more fun than putting on an old costume and jewelry and being in a house that's decorated from the '20s or '30s or whatever.
Mariana KlavenoA lot of people's lives are built around a healthy lifestyle. I take really good care with what I eat, and exercise obviously has become part of your lifestyle, going to the gym, meeting with your trainer, going to yoga and all those things. As an actor, that's part of your job; it's part of our responsibility to take care of ourselves, in a way.
