I maintain my inner beauty by trying to lead a balanced life in general. I try to eat healthy foods, but... that doesn't mean I won't treat myself now and then! I work out almost every day, which gives me more energy and helps me feel stronger. I also try to be a genuinely good person to the people around me.

I went to a tiny little high school... I'd make my foray into Calgary if I wanted to see a movie or do something crazy.

My home is in West Vancouver, B.C. My husband built it from drawings to design and colour.

I'm fairly introverted, but when I do stuff like a Maxim shoot, there's a side of me I call Gillian.

I work on most weekends, so my husband is the executive chef. He is an amazing cook. I love the way he does salmon, and his apple pie for dessert is delicious.

If you think too much about playing an icon, it will immobilize you. You have to treat it like a fresh character. Sure, there are guidelines so that you don't upset people, but you have to find your own way.

'Smallville' was my first love and it is always close to my heart.

The best beauty advice I ever received is to keep skin hydrated and limit harsh exposure to the sun. If you are set on the tanned look, there are plenty of great creams that will give you a healthy-looking glow.

I'm a small-town girl, and it'll never be beaten out of me.

I might do my own independent film, that my husband wrote for me, if all the ducks are in a row.

Any kind of advice that I've been given to cut out carbs forever, don't do it. It just doesn't work. You do okay for a while and then you just overcarb.

I constantly have anxiety about being the lead of the show. I don't talk about it because it scares me. But I've always wanted to be part of something where I could work on a character in such a big manner, and you get offered that with all the trappings of being the lead of the show.

I'm pretty klutzy and I've always been, so I have to own up to it. It's part of my charm!
