More quotes by Ellen Page
I grew up working in Canada so everything was low budget.
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'm not used to being in front of a camera as myself. I'm not used to watching myself as myself.
Ellen Page
And I think it's really easy for people to point out hypocrisy in people's lives.
Ellen Page
I grew up playing sports, but now I feel like I can't, because if I get injured, I'll impair whatever film I'm working on.
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 remember having been with this book [Into the Forest] for a long time, and I remember the moment that she [Patricia Rozema] sent me the script and what it was like to read it for the first time. I just was so blown away by how she managed to capture the story and their relationship to each other, and the nuances of that.

And I've shot in Prince Edward Island winters, I mean, I've shot in some intense, intense temperatures.
Ellen Page
I have trouble sometimes watching actors - even when they do a great job - with an accent.
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
By focusing on the community, you can learn more about the whole country.
Ellen Page
It's really crucial to achieve that balance with a film like this, cause it is unique and witty and then there's the tendency to force that. It becomes contrived and I know the feeling like, give me a fork that I can stab in my eye in those kinds of movies.
Ellen Page
I don't get competitive, really. So I don't know. If I'm excited about something, hopefully someone will think, Oh right, you should do this. And that's great. I'm not being very articulate about this. I just don't want to do stuff if I'm going to feel bummed out and uninspired.
Ellen Page
I'm really passionate about music - I get really emotionally connected, probably in a weird way.
Ellen Page
If you're a girl and you don't fit the very specific vision of what a girl should be, which is always from a man's perspective, then you're a little bit at a loss.
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
Absolutely, I think coming out has allowed me to align who I am with with my creative self.
Ellen Page
Mind you, Roman Holiday - which is kind of a romantic comedy - is one of my favorite films, and I think Audrey Hepburn is absolutely phenomenal in that movie.
Ellen Page
I find a lot of people say, “Oh organic and local’s expensive and I just don’t have time.” And I’m like, well how much TV do you watch? Where are your priorities right now? I always take the time to eat well and eat locally because it’s common sense.
Ellen Page
Scientists and religious leaders, activists and first nation leaders, CEOs of corporations and actors, all of us need to come together right now, because the planet is in a lot of pain.
