I was one of those kids who wanted to do everything, I wanted to be a marine biologist, an actress, a writer, an environmentalist, an activist.

Life is about change, sometimes it's painful, sometimes it's beautiful, but most of the time it's both.

I'd rather walk than drive a car. In Vancouver, where I am from, you can get to just about anywhere you need to go on foot. Even if it's raining I'll go out for a stroll. I just love that.

When I was in elementary school, I used to write letters to myself. I'd write letters and go 'Dear Kristen-at-16-years-old, happy birthday. I hope you're doing something.'

I get uncomfortable in large groups of people and loud music.

I spill water on myself all the time at nice restaurants. I've run into poles and knocked myself out.

I think the education I've had as an actor I would never have had at university.
