1. I have an entirely different career now than the one I began with at 16. And I wouldn't have it any other way. 2. (in response to "How do you deal with a bad actor?") The only thing that makes a bad actor is when they're not giving. I'll try to do whatever I can to move them, surprise them, throw them. I'll use whatever I can to make something happen. Even if it's off-script or it's not emotionally called for, because at least there's going to be an emotional truth - even if you have to piss somebody off.
3. If I've learned anything in this career it's that you have to hold on to the wisdom you've earned and to use it in your work. I bring an authenticity and experience in my work now that only comes with age and time.
7. (recalling when she was an introverted teen and discovered theatre) I had a voice suddenly. I was being heard. I was being listened to for the first time in my life and that felt good.
9. Canadian actors are too frickin' humble compared to American actors, who generally have more avenues in the industry. We could use a little of their balls. They could use a little bit of our grace.
11. You have more time when you have more money, but that doesn't always make it (the production) better. (In indies) you get to do it together, not just some CEOs counting shareholders. With low-budget films, people give 150 per cent because they don't have the money or time to waste, and there is a necessity to be creative in what casts and crews do.
13. If you want to be an actor, drop out of school and go be a hippie.
