Piper's father, George William Perabo, is of German, English, and Irish ancestry. Piper's mother, Mary Charlotte (Ulland), is of Norwegian descent. While Piper's surname is sometimes believed to be Portuguese, it originates in Germany. Piper's paternal great-grandfather, Frederick Joseph Perabo, was born in Lorch, Germany, in 1878, and moved to the United States, where he married Piper's great-grandmother, Edna B., who was also of German descent. Piper's patrilineal line can be traced back to her great-great-great-grandparents, Jacob Perabo and Caroline Diel, who were German-born.

Citações

Any time I'm playing opposite somebody in a love relationship, if I know them it's easier, because I know how much I can trust them.
I think that you love who you love, and there are people who you love that people aren't going to understand why, and that sort of doesn't really matter.
To me, a great love story is a great love story, and it doesn't matter what gender is involved.
I walked into the audition and was like, "I'm from New Jersey, I work in a bar, I play guitar - there's no reason you shouldn't give me this part." And it worked! - On auditioning for Show Bar (2000).
[on Guy Pearce] He's very intense, and he's very focused. It can be [intimidating]. I've worked with people like that before, and if they're not sort of generous towards you, it can be a little intimidating, because you don't know where you stand with them, and the work is so much in the forefront, you don't know how to interact socially... not that a movie is a social party, but when you work with people, you say 'Good morning,' or you have a coffee, or you smoke a cigarette together, or you sit next to them at lunch, and if you don't sort of know how to relate to them, it can be sort of uncomfortable and can bleed into the characters. Whereas, Guy is very generous, and despite his intense nature of working, he can also be... like he knows the names of everybody on the crew, you know what I mean? He's also a very social person. I think he's been an intense actor for so long that he knows how to make people at ease that he has to work with.
