Ellen PageThere are a lot of things I love about acting and one of the things I love the most is, here you are taking words off a page, working with someone you might have met just a week before, and somehow you're creating a moment that separates itself from space and time.

And things outside the story get revealed to you, too. It's an incredible way to work and to experience a story.
