More quotes by Ellen Page
There’s obviously a lot of tragedy in comedy I really enjoy the paradox of what a really good comedy is.
Ellen Page
I love travel shows. I love Anthony Bourdain. I love No Reservations. I always learn so much, and I wanted to see one from a gay perspective that explored LGBT communities around the world.
Ellen Page
When I was 5, someone thought it was smart to let me watch The People Under the Stairs. It might not have even been that scary, but I do remember skinned people in cages under the stairs and a man who lived in a wall without a tongue… and that’s why I cry after sex.
Ellen Page
I wish transphobia, biphobia, homophobia didn't exist, and I wish that's what the show could just be, but sadly that's not the situation around the world.
Ellen Page
I grew up working in Canada so everything was low budget.
Ellen Page
I loved Thirteen and I loved Pretty Persuasion, and was always just so blown away by her [Rachel Evan Wood]. It was nice, and sadly, it is so rare.
Ellen Page
I always take the time to eat well and eat locally because it's common sense.
Ellen Page
It's weird because here I am, an actress, representing - at least in some sense - an industry that places crushing standards on all of us. Not just young people, but everyone. Standards of beauty. Of a good life. Of success. Standards that, I hate to admit, have affected me.
Ellen Page
Absolutely, I think coming out has allowed me to align who I am with with my creative self.
Ellen Page
I just love it so much [acting]. When I get passionate, I’ll give you everything until I collapse. That’s not in any ’Look at me, I’m a saint’ kind of way. It’s very selfish in a way. I’m doing this really awesome exploration, and it’s like a drug, because I completely disappear.
Ellen Page
You think you're in a place where you're all 'I'm thrilled to be gay, I have no issues about being gay anymore, I don't feel shame about being gay,' but you actually do. You're just not fully aware of it. I think I still felt scared about people knowing. I felt awkward around gay people I felt guilty for not being myself.
Ellen Page
Love is the most incredible gift to give and to receive as a human being.
Ellen Page
If you can really hear more of the root cause, maybe there are ways that we can get beyond it, or destroy it, actually.
Ellen Page
By focusing on the community, you can learn more about the whole country.

I didn't even think about it when I read the script and then shooting their movie and someone was like boy, press is going to be fun. And I didn't really know what they were talking about because to me it's just a film shows it as an extremely viable option which is obviously the most important thing for young individuals.
Ellen Page
You hear things like, ‘People shouldn’t know about your life because you’re creating an illusion on-screen.’ But I don’t see other actresses going to great lengths to hide their heterosexuality. That’s an unfair double standard.
Ellen Page
Patricia [Rozema] is really special, and she really worked hard to make the environment and the landscapes' natural beauty come alive. She was not forceful with anything, but enabled it to really have this poetic nature.
Ellen Page
Usually, when you're in a movie, you're disconnected from it. You're never going to feel what you felt when you made it.
Ellen Page
I hope I continue to learn more. It's a lot to learn.
Ellen Page
And I think it's really easy for people to point out hypocrisy in people's lives.
