I get antsy and annoyed if I am sedentary too long.

I've never gone for the smooth, suave Latin or French lover. That usually makes me think they're trying to pull one over on me.

People will always put you in a box that they think you fit in, and it's up to you to not fall into it.

I'm not very good at resting on my laurels. I am a bit of a workaholic, and I like to keep busy and active, so I think that's what drives me.

It's not hard to draw from within yourself to play someone protective of her daughter. I have animals and I'm a daughter, sister, wife, aunt and friend, and I can be fiercely protective.

I handle emotional pain by trying to understand that it's going to be painful and to allow for it instead of fighting it. Doesn't make it any easier, though.

Sometimes, if you don't have kids yourself, it's assumed you won't understand or know how to play a mom, which is kind of silly if you think about it.

I do like to treat myself, I just don't do it very often.

I think sometimes the hardest obstacle is yourself.

I am inspired when I see goodness in other people.

Chemistry is a hard thing. I don't think you can force it, and it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to have great chemistry outside of work. It's just something that sparks on screen or doesn't.

If you do not have the strength to forgive, then compel themselves and continue in that, do not write bad words.For all that you write, is your own burden, you're gonna wear.So just write nice!

How do you pay for what you've done?

But I do not actually remember being a monster. I just remember wanting my own way.

I often think I can see it in myself and in other young writers, this desperate desire to please coupled with a kind of hostility to the reader.

Life moved ever outward into infinite possibilities and yet all things were perfect and finished in every single moment, their end attained.

For me, I'm a fan of really dark, depressing stuff.

I have to wake up and drink chamomile tea to slow down.

I wanted to live a proper life with deep, interwoven relationships for better or worse, which only death could separate.

I don't have an ego that makes me believe the world revolves around me. I am not self-absorbed.

Growing up in Canada, I didn't watch football much.
