QUOTES:
- [on having to wear the same wardrobe all season on 24 (2001)] I feel like I’m one of The Simpsons
- I believe not giving up on doing things.
- I was lucky . . . [in Los Angeles] I found what I wanted to do when I was 11.
- [on The Girl Next Door (2004)] I don’t ever want to be doing the same sort of thing, I never want to be typecast, because I have way too much to give to be sort of, to always be the hot chick in the movie.
- I definitely believe in fate. And I believe what you put in is what you get in return. That’s the way it’s worked for me. As for the big picture–there’s some sort of plan.
- [asked about moving from Montreal to Los Angeles at age 17] I just went with my gut feeling and thought that if I care this much about what I’m doing, then maybe there are opportunities elsewhere and I’d be stupid not to give it a try.
- [on her performance in a Weezer video] I remember just sort of thinking, “I’m not going to get to do this too, too often”, so I just went crazy and threw alcohol around. I was acting ridiculous and screaming at everybody and throwing a fit.
- [about moving back to Montreal] With friends and family in Montreal, it’s always in the back of my mind. I like going back. I miss the nightlife. It’s such a great city. I’ve been a lot of places in the world, and I’m sure I’m biased because I grew up there, but I love it.
