Emmanuelle Chriqui

“A great day in New York would be to wake up, get a cup of coffee and head up to Central Park for a nice walk. Then I'd go down to the East Village and stroll around. After that, maybe I'd go check out a museum or catch an indie film at the Angelika.”

“My elbows are double-jointed, so I can flip them inside out.”

“I love European films in general. If I were to go to the movie store or something, that's what I like to see.”

“I'm actually very sensitive to energies, and when people are not aligned, I can feel that.”

“I appreciate humor so much, but I'm actually not a funny girl.”

“Reese Witherspoon is my everywoman. She's managed to have a family and this amazing career. That's the goal.”

“I'm this little Canadian Jewish girl, and I'm living my dream.”

“The beauty of voice-over work is that maybe you come in and record once every two weeks for a couple of hours and do a couple episodes a session. It's awesome! You spend an afternoon playing in the booth, and there you have it. It doesn't interfere with much.”

“One tip I like is don't forget your reusable bags when you go to the drug store or to the mall. I think most people think of the bags for the grocery store, but I try to take mine wherever I go.”

“Never reveal your insecurities to a man, because nine times out of 10 they have no idea they even exist.”

“I look at my father. He is one of my heroes. He is such an incredible, classy man. He was such a great father and such a great husband in so many ways, and we lived through some pretty tough times losing my mom. When I see all that he did, I think, 'Wow, that's a really wonderful man.'”

“My mom was an aesthetician and she went to beauty school back in the '60s. I just remember watching her do her makeup all the time. She always had her nails done, makeup on - her face was ready to go when she went out. I loved it.”

“When you have confidence, that's what becomes attractive to other people and makes them want to work with you and spend time with you.”

“I tell the most horrible jokes.”

“I feel like I want to be known first and foremost for my work.”

“I love doing voice-over. It's so fun.”
