(edit)
Cote de Pablo: (about speaking Hebrew in NCIS) The few phrases I do use in the show, I have a coach that I study with.
(edit)
Cote de Pablo: (about doing stunts in NCIS) Coming from the theater I love the adrenalin rush from working on NCIS. You get home and you're exhausted, but you feel like you've really worked. It's such a masochistic thing. In one episode we were shooting boxed in a container from 7 in the morning to 12 at night. There's gunfire in the container. We had to pretend the truck was moving so we had to keep ourselves moving the whole time. I remember my knees were all bruised up because I had to fall so many times. That was taxing on the body.
(edit)
Cote de Pablo: (about her free time) Most of the time I rest, try to do a movie or just watch them at home. I'm into watching old movies I haven't seen like Roman Polanski's Macbeth. Occationally I go out with friends, but there's no time to really go clubbing like I used to... I have to take care of myself because if you get sick you still have to work. I'm not much a party animal anyway. I lay low. I like to be grounded by nature, go hiking... go to an isolated island that's not glamorous and touristy at all.
(edit)
Cote de Pablo: (On speaking Hebrew for her role as Ziva David in "NCIS") Oh, man, it took four days of nothing else in my apartment to learn this. I was so scared, because I'm very good with languages, but Hebrew sounded like nothing I had ever heard.
(edit)
Cote de Pablo: I want to get more into martial arts, and I'm taking the Israeli answer to Chinese Kung Fu. There's no fighting there. It's just a matter of breaking down the enemy in three seconds. It's really violent, but I'm doing it more for getting into shape and just to be stronger. I've always been fit, but I want to feel strength coming from the center of my body, which has nothing to do with being mean or anything. It just has to do with doing the right core work.
