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.

I'm an avid cook. Brazilian, some Italian, a little French. And I often throw dinner parties.

I feel that I have grown so much as an actor being on 'Homeland'.

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.

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'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.
