Elisha Cuthbert

“You're lucky enough in television to always be at it, to always be doing it. It's like you're constantly that person, always, all the time. It gets to be like clockwork.”

“I think it's so wrong to play the victim. There's too many brave women out there that just won't even tolerate it, you know?”

“I'm used to being someone else 10 months out of the year.”

“You can make a feature that makes millions but only so many people see it. With a hit TV show, every week you'll have 16 million - 20 million people watching you.”

“I watch what I eat obviously. I'm not a regular gym-goer but I'm conscious of it.”

“I don't look in the mirror and think that I have flaws. I actually look in the mirror and see me. I see a lot of different characters and a lot of different things.”

“I don't think anything can prepare you for a crew to come in and actually film you as yourself. It's kind of frightening to think that all of a sudden people are going to know how you are, and how you act on a day-to-day basis.”

“I have lots of records, quite a collection, actually, that I stole from my mom. I have the original 'Thriller' album and I have a really great 'Elton John's Greatest Hits,' and I also have a N.E.R.D. album. Records sound more original. They have more edge.”

“I just don't like showing everything I've got. I don't want to look like I'm trying too hard to be sexy.”

“I go into every film not just wanting to play the hot girl in the movie. It kills me.”

“I was bitten by a brown recluse spider. It got me as I was coming out of the shower. I'd never seen that kind of spider before, I'm from Canada and we don't get those types up there.”

“I don't like anything that's too confining. I'm sort of a control freak, so anything that makes me feel like I'm out of control is a bit uncomfortable. But you know how it is, sometimes it's good to live a little!”

“I think wardrobe is a really important part of making a movie and developing the character.”

“I don't ever want to be doing the same sort of thing, I never want to be typecast, because I have way too much to give to be sort of, to always be the hot chick in the movie.”

“It's hard to be scared if you don't feel for a character, because you don't care if they die or live.”

“Some of the things I've seen a lot of my female-actress friends who are relatively famous receive - I've seen some hideous things. Like some really, really bad things... like, the FBI should be contacted immediately.”

“I'm one of those low-maintenance people - let's get it done and get going. It's not that painful to wax, but... I don't have time for it - just give me the razor.”

“I do believe that when you know better, you do better. You know what was wrong about the last relationship, and hopefully you will do better the next time.”

“There's nothing more romantic than Italian food.”

“A lot of people loved to hate my character on 24. I want to be the character people love to love.”
