I have trouble sometimes watching actors - even when they do a great job - with an accent.

When I feel strongly about something, I'm not so quiet.

I've always been drawn to stories and telling them; whether it was through being a part of theater when I was a little kid, or film, or with music, there's just been an innate desire to feel that connection.

I'm a huge fan of the program 'Democracy Now,' which is hosted by Amy Goodman, and I subscribe to the podcast.

Acting is very physical, even when it doesn't appear to be. It's about the arc of your body's language through a film.

And I've shot in Prince Edward Island winters, I mean, I've shot in some intense, intense temperatures.

I think it's obvious when you're watching a movie, and there's people fighting or someone's slipping on the side of the building, that it's fake and it really removes you from it.

But I've never been really rebellious. I've got a lot of support and I'm not pushed so hard that I feel like I'm going to burn out, which is what happens to a lot of actors in their early twenties.

When we're growing up there are all sorts of people telling us what to do when really what we need is space to work out who to be.

Conversations create change. It's easy to call someone 'enemy,' but there's more to it, right?

For me, being out within my life became far more important than being in any movie.

I really hope that we'll have a sustainable future on this planet, I really do. So I probably geek out mostly about learning more about how potentially we can hopefully make that happen, hopefully we're not too far lost.

I love playing roles that are physical, absolutely love. Whether it's just that kind of basic level of physicality or whether it's stunts.

I'd ice-skated before, because I'm Canadian and that's what you do as a kid, but I'd never, ever been on quad skates.

I hate how box-office failures are blamed on an actress, yet I don't see a box-office failure blamed on men.

I think the Smart Car is awesome. The only problem is I've been on the freeway and felt like I was going to be blown away like a Tim Hortons coffee cup, so I may have to upgrade to a Mini Cooper - something a little stronger.

I always take the time to eat well and eat locally because it's common sense.

People ask if I'm concerned about getting pigeonholed. No one asks, 'Ellen, you've done seven straight roles in a row. Shouldn't you shake it up, do something queer?' There's still that double standard.

X-Men is massive, like nothing I've ever experienced. But great in its own way.
