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.

My mom taught me German before I knew English. And I went to French immersion school.

I think the improv also helps with the imagination of dealing this person across from me who's not physically there. When you do an improv scene, you're usually working on a blank stage and creating the props and creating the environment.

Have fun, be yourself, enjoy life and stay positive.

It's always been my dream to just continually do really cool indie movies - character-driven stuff.
