But I've never been really rebellious. I've got a lot of support and I'm not pushed so hard that I feel like I'm going to burn out, which is what happens to a lot of actors in their early twenties.

When we're growing up there are all sorts of people telling us what to do when really what we need is space to work out who to be.

There's obviously a lot of tragedy in comedy; I really enjoy the paradox of what a really good comedy is.

I think, because I've been working for a while, I've been working since I was ten, I had the fortune of reading a lot, a lot of scripts.

I love playing roles that are physical, absolutely love. Whether it's just that kind of basic level of physicality or whether it's stunts.

I think the Smart Car is awesome. The only problem is I've been on the freeway and felt like I was going to be blown away like a Tim Hortons coffee cup, so I may have to upgrade to a Mini Cooper -...

I hate how box-office failures are blamed on an actress, yet I don't see a box-office failure blamed on men.

I don't really want to do the Hollywood thing. I think you ought to try to say something with your movies.

There's no big budget Canadian movie. Whatever movies are big budget in Canada come from the States. Or also have States financing. Everything's pretty small.
