I've been doing this since I was 12... I don't want to act much longer; I can't do one thing my whole life.

All my characters are me. I'm not a good enough actor to become a character. I hear about actors who become the role and I think 'I wonder what that feels like.' Because for me, they're all me.

I grew up in a family of strong women and I owe any capacity I have to understand women to my mother and big sister. They taught me to respect women in a way where I've always felt a strong emotional connection to women, which has also helped me in the way I approach my work as an actor.

You can't make a movie for everybody. You can't go into it trying to alienate people, but you have to assume that you're going to.

Sometimes I think that the one thing I love most about being an adult is the right to buy candy whenever and wherever I want.

I don't know what art is exactly, but I'm pretty sure it's not something you get paid to do. For myself this is a job. I think it's easier to get better at it if you don't lose your identity in it. You do whatever you can to try to understand the character. Because they're paying you feel like you should be doing something.

I'm Canadian so American politics are not really in my wheelhouse.
