Trust your gut. You know yourself, so don't let somebody else tell you who you are.

Film has always been where my heart is.

I see a lot of things I'm so excited and hopeful about film and TV in Canada. There's just a huge movement, I think, in seeking an identity as Canadians, and really forging it and really embracing all the parts of us as Canadians that come from such varied experiences and such varied cultures. And I think there are strong voices that come out.

I like 'Futurama.' That's kind of the only thing that's my sci-fi thing, although I was big into zombies for a time.

Those darker sides, the things that we don't want to admit about ourselves - that's what excites me.

All the foundation work you plant in the early seasons pay off in stronger storylines deep into our seasons. I think that only aids in performance.

I fell in love with 'Star Trek' after J. J. Abrams's movie. I'm so into that.
