Grace Park Quotes
- [on fan art] I just saw a montage that they put together to music, and it was the whole Tyrol and Boomer storyline. And it was all these clips that they put together, and someone sent it to me for my interest. And I watched the thing, and by the end, I was all moved. I was like, “I want them to be together!” [laughs] “They’re so great!” Then I was like, “But if I think about it, that was doomed.”
- [on fanfiction] I get really confused. I didn’t know what that really was. I was like, “I don’t remember reading this script anywhere!”
- [on playing two characters on Battlestar Galactica (2004)] There was a lot of pressure that I felt, especially since the second episode was very heavy on the two characters right away. And I remember the director was reiterating some of the points of the show. And I was sitting there thinking, “Yeah, yeah, yeah, but why are you saying these things?” Because they’re obvious points. Then I realized in that moment she was making sure that she had the points right, and then I knew the safety net was gone. And then I thought that was very scary at that point.
- [on what’s next for her character Sharon on Battlestar Galactica (2004)] It’s funny because I was on the plane with [producer Ronald D. Moore] on the way here, and I was like, “What do you see for my character?” And he was kind of lost, and I was like, “It’s kind of funny because I’m sort of lost. I was sort of looking at my character to maybe give me some ideas.” And he’s like, “So the responsibility lies on me to help shape your life?” I’m like, “Yeah, pretty much!” Then he’s like, “Well, I was drawing on the actress”. And I’m like, “Oh, so you’re looking to me to provide you with a storyline?”
- [on Battlestar Galactica (2004)] 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.
