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.

I think when you're a mom and an actor, it forces you to leave any actor neuroses behind and just concentrate on the work.

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

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.

Breaks are good because you need breaks to be more creative. It's hard to come up with that creativity and the stamina for that creativity, all the time.
