Quotes

Grace Park: (speaking about "Six Degrees of Separation") I had to do this one sex scene for Battlestar that wasn’t a bedroom scene. It was outside in a forest under a lightning-and-thunder shower. I was like, "So you want some crazy forest sex? OK, I gotcha." In the end, they had to totally edit it down and take out all my moaning. (edit)
Grace Park: No matter how much more developed we get technologically, whether we develop new philosophies or we get further along, faith into religion, it just seems that it keeps coming back to this. It's like a constant struggle of good and evil and actually playing itself out physically and emotionally and mentally among people, races, cultures. But it's a metaphor for so many things. Whatever you want to see or whatever you're struggling with in life, you can see there, whether it be politics or terrorism or war, hope, faith, struggle, love. It's all in there. Or if you just want plain action and neck-snapping plot twists, you've got that too.

(at the May 2006 NBC Universal Summer Press Day, speaking about the popularity of Battlestar Galactica) (edit)
Grace Park: Sometimes I feel like I'm a reluctant actor, I don't know why. Acting, when you're in the groove and it's going well, you feel more alive than what you do in most days. When things are all aligned it thrills you, and when you see so many people climb to their stardom, I guess that's alright too.

But it's not even like that for me. I didn't want the attention. I wasn't doing it to be famous. I don't wish for people to see me in a glamorous way, or I didn't do it to make a lot of money or anything like that. (edit)
(When asked what she would most want her character Sharon Valerii to do)
Grace Park: Hmm. That she would destroy everybody and everything. She would just obliterate the universe. She’s always struggling between bad and good, and she’s tired of it. I’d just have her go kamikaze. (edit)
(Speaking about the funniest thing that has happened on the set of Battlestar Galactica)
Grace Park: A lot of really weird things happened. I think one of the funniest things that I can remember that after the rape scene, even though it sounds pretty morbid, but we’d done it so many times... Lt. Thorne always had to pull down my pants. I was wearing something underneath, but still, when we were done, I said now that we’re done here turn around and drop your pants. And I was joking, but he said sure and he turned around and dropped his pants. So I saw his butt too. I thought that was pretty funny. Then we shook hands and we said thanks. (edit)

"Gorgeous"
Grace Park is the most attractive women in the business and one of the most talented. You could say Grace is the BOMB. She makes me want to move to Vancouver and become Canadian. A great addition and asset to any movie or TV show she is on.
