Trivia

  • Mitchell doesn't watch Grimm. "I just don't need to see it...I like to think about things from the inside...it's more fun if you play pretend all the way, which means that you're not watching yourself play pretend. You're inside the imaginary reality... If you're looking at yourself, you're not allowing yourself to be completely immersed..."
