“Movement is very important to a character, no matter what period you're working in. So when it came to playing Emma Jung and lacing up in the corset, it was really not a foreign thing for me.”

“I think everyone's had that moment where you're sitting there in class and notice someone for the first time.”

“I think I'll always base myself out of Toronto. I don't have any plans to move to L.A.”

“I think my generation is defining themselves as Canadian artists.”

“The kinds of films that I'm used to doing are independent films. They're very small character-driven pieces, and there isn't as much spectacle involved.”

“I think about work all the time. I was in my bathroom yesterday and thought, 'I could never work again.' I don't have a job lined up right now - what if I never get another one?”

“What happens when we questions power structures? What are the consequences?”

“I'm a really proud, happy Canadian. I think we've got it figured out in our country. For example, gay marriage has just been legalized in all of the U.S. and it's like, 'Wow, hashtag lovewins,' but that's not necessarily a leap forward compared to what we've already experienced in Canada years ago.”

“When it came time to go to university, I wanted to study cinema studies and theater and not necessarily do a fine arts degree.”

“I love film, and I love short films.”

“You have to find your projects and track them as they go along that long process of being made.”

“It was really great to be part of the Philip Roth story as a woman in a very complete way.”

“I think when you focus on the work, it becomes a simpler pursuit.”
