The biggest challenge is the chaos of parenthood, which has honestly been such a welcome challenge - bring it on, I say!

I love female-driven drama, and those kinds of characters. I really love complex women.

When I started in the business, years ago, people would always say, "You better get as much work as you can now because, once you get over 40, it's over." I don't see that with TV. Maybe it's because I am getting older, but the kinds of roles I'm drawn to are more mature roles.

Doing something completely different than acting for awhile is really important.

I think professionally I admire people and the way they've handled their careers and being in the media. But the people that I used to inspire me and keep me going were my peers in Toronto - I would see the same girls going to audition after audition, and their resilience to do it again, and I found that inspiring.
