My good friend once said, "You guys think you're the stars in your own movie."

I'm not a runner, and I always dreamed about just throwing on my sneakers and really knocking everyone's socks off with my joy of traversing the world by foot.

I wear a lot of boyish stuff, but I prefer to throw a fur coat on top just for the hell of it.

The first two or three movies I did, I'd be around famous co-stars and totally pretend like I didn't care, but inside, I was shaking. I've been weaning myself off that.

I'm probably less volatile and tempestuous than a lot of Aries, but I think I'm probably quite loud and outgoing and passionate. Maybe a bit difficult or stubborn.

Feminism is rooted in racial rights and gender rights, and all of those things intersect, and to say that that's not something you can stand behind - it confuses me. I think it's a really great word.

I think Julianne Moore is the most radiantly beautiful human being and isn't messing with nature too much. She seems like a woman who treats her body like a temple. I cannot relate to that!

If I had criteria, it would just be that I want to play active people who can solve problems, not people who have things thrust in their lap and need somebody to solve their problems for them.

I've just sort of jumped into relationships and moved in with people way too soon.

It's a hard thing to explain to other people because it sounds very superficial and nepotistic, but doing the interview is actually a very deep, dream-fulfilling aspect of relationship.

I love Thanksgiving. In Canada, we don't really have a lot of history with Thanksgiving, and it's a holiday devoted to food, and that warms the cockles of my being.

Don't search for people, the right persons will come to you at the right time

A daydream is an evasion.

Don't let them get you down. Be cheeky. And wild. And wonderful.

[President Obama] made so many promises. We thought that he was going to be -- I shouldn't say this at Christmastime -- but the next messiah.

There is no creativity without vulnerability.

No shortcomings of other people cause us to be more intolerant than those which are caricatures of our own.

To maintain a powerful life force, forget yourself, forget about living and dying, and bring your full attention into this moment.

A country's assets reside in the tinkerers, the hobbyists, and the risk-takers.

To the vulgar eye, few things are wonderful that are not distant

You can fight a rumour only with an even wilder rumour.
