I've worn stilettos since I was 12, so I have abused my feet to the point of no return.
-
I went to a cleansing retreat in the desert where I didn't eat for eight days and experienced hunger-driven hallucinations.
-
I studied acting throughout high school, then modelling took over because it brought more opportunity. When I quit modelling, coming back to Vancouver, I registered at the University of Victoria.
-
I love working out.
-
I saw 'Starbuck' before I ever knew I would be involved in 'Delivery Man,' but I liked it, and then a couple of months went by, and I really knew I wanted to audition for it when it became available.
-
I usually wear a lot of really thin gold bands and small studs. Nothing too big.
-
I really like the character of Jack Reacher - I thought he was interesting.
-
Anytime anybody jumps out at me, I scream.
-
I have so many single girlfriends who fit themselves into the mold of what they think a guy's looking for. But being comfortable around men is about being comfortable with yourself. They gravitate toward confidence. Really, that is what they want to be around.
-
'The Avengers' happened because I'm friends with Joss Whedon, and he sort of brought me into the mix when they were looking for Maria Hill.
-
I come from Canada, and maternity leave is six months to a year, and they also have paternity leave, and I think that there's something to that. There's also something to making a more comfortable environment for women to breast feed or to bring their kids into work and to have more nurseries in these office buildings.
-
The problem is my movie career is hindering my hockey schedule.
-
I seek out things that terrify me, like an improv class. I'm terrified of sharks, but I scuba dive. I'm not good at auditioning, but I force myself to do it all the time. I've never met anybody who is fearless, but the more you push against your own boundaries, the easier it becomes to push.
-
I felt very patriotic playing a New York City cop.
-
I didn't really discover 'Risky Business' until later in life because I was so young when it came out.
-
Sometimes I feel like women of the world who are single moms and are working in Walmart are the strongest women out there, and that's what's really exciting to me is being all these different types of women.
-
My plan is to stay in New York for as long as I can and do some theater out here and just keep working creatively.
-
I'm always looking for interesting stories, and I feel in independent film there's more opportunity.
-
I know my body's limits. I've never enjoyed Spin classes, where they're like, 'Push it further!' I'm like, 'No. If I pull something, I can't work tomorrow.' That's why I gave up Bikram yoga.
-
I feel like starring in a TV show is such a fun thing.
-
I actually kind of prefer working with an ensemble. It's just cool to be surrounded by such great people.
-
One of the major complaints for long-running shows is that they become mundane.
-
I love macaroni and cheese. I could eat it every meal of the day.
-
The best of me now lives on in my two little women, baby girls I was lucky enough to be able to make with my own body.
