I think it's critical in any character you play that it really is about reacting instead of acting. You can always tell when a person is acting.

I came out here to do the acting, and then after a year of auditions and not getting anything, I met these Italian guys and they asked me to write lyrics for them. Then they said, Why don't you just front the band? I said, Well, maybe because I can't sing. I've never sang before in my life.

I loved 'Pan's Labyrinth.' It transported me into another world. I like fantasy worlds I love 'Lord of the Rings' as well, for that reason, because you really get to get out of reality and go somewhere else.

I'm a big pasta fan. I'm a big Italian food fan. Anything Italian - I love cheese, mozzarella. Mozzarella is my favorite, so I have to say anything Italian, I'll take it.

The funny thing is that my husband couldn't be sweeter. He looks like this bad boy. He's got tattoos and earrings and a mohawk, but when you talk to him and he's around you, he's such a gentleman. He holds doors for ladies. He pulls out chairs. He cooks. He cleans.

The excitement about independent filmmaking is that they're a little more open to taking chances. The studios are a little more careful, as far as who they choose for their film and what they're known for and staying in the genre because they know what works.

It's so funny because you think you're attracted to this bad boy. They do whatever they want, but you don't really want that. You don't want someone who's out on a tour bus, sleeping around with different people and getting wasted.

Every time I'm in Canada I feel more Swedish, and every time I'm in Sweden I feel more Canadian. I belong in both places and I love them both equally. It's funny because the Swedes claim me as their Swedish pride and the Canadians call me their Canadian girl. I'll take it all.

A lot of big studio films, which are fun and great, tend to have a formula, and you've seen it before, and it's a new version of it.

We all in real life put on these masks - we don't swear when we're around certain people When we come home, when you're on your own I'm sure you're really different than when you're with your boss.

Modeling was never anything that was a career choice. I did catalog work in Toronto to make money so that I could go to school.

I have been a goof my whole life. I wasn't really the popular girl in school and didn't have any boyfriends in high school because I was a nerd. I was a geek.

That's when you're laughing the hardest because you're not really in character. You're just trying to learn the moves, but once they call, Action!, you're in it and it's like you transport yourself to a different place.
