I have trouble sleeping, at the end of the night. There's a lot of stimulus and my brain is processing a lot of different arcs and personalities. I'm always processing things, so I don't sleep.

We're living in a world where the response is really instantaneous, even though it's delayed by a few months. It comes at you pretty fast.

I love people, watching people interact. It's a lot of psychology. We learn about ourselves by watching other people's lives on the screen.

My mom's a translator, my dad's a woodworker; that's the world I grew up in, that's the world I'm most comfortable in. The whole idea of Hollywood or any of that other stuff that unfortunately goes along with film, that wasn't part of my upbringing, thankfully.

I love nerdy work. I love writing notes. I try to go back, as much as I can, to feed what happens and why they do what they do.

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

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.
