My parents were European immigrants. They came to the States with $1,500, two suitcases, and me, and they managed to build a business, a family, and a future for their family. They didn’t have any of the resources of people who have lived here for two or three generations. Stana Katic Read Quote
When I was 16, I was in Boston and some friends said, ‘You want to go to New York?,’ I went with my roommate… These guys said, ‘We’re going to this club. Just don’t go in the washroom.’ It was CBGB.

I got introduced to yoga in drama school. It’s now a mainstay in my life, ever since I got instructor certification at a teacher-training intensive. I even occasionally guide an intimate class of friends and family, but mostly the training was to serve and deepen my own practice. Stana Katic Read Quote
