I really like having a life outside work. I sometimes wish I did more career stuff and was in that Hollywood scene a bit more. But Toronto's my home.

You know I never used to be a bad flyer, but I did start to have a fear of flying after I shot a movie where I was terrorized on a plane. I made Wes Craven's 'Red Eye'. I don't think they're linked but it does make me pause and wonder if they are, so perhaps I will explore that in therapy some day.

A friend of mine had this great theory about the Teletubbies, that it's preparing us for being mindless. And getting us ready for living in an underground world. That's why the scenery is so flat.

I love those preliminary conversations about who a character is. You try on wigs, shoes and clothes. It's preferable when it's not about looking pretty. It can get a little dull to just be cute. We talk about things like, maybe my character can't afford these Christian Louboutins.

You have to be really open to your acting partners and believe in the story.

You really don't have a life when you're working. I always think oh, I'm gonna see everybody on my days off. I'm gonna read so many books and see so many films and then three months go by.

There's no one who's ever been significantly in my life for whom I don't have a sort of tenderness because they helped to shape who I am.

I'm very silly as a person, but quality silliness on-screen has more of an art to it. Harrison Ford, whom I was in Morning Glory with, has mastered that dry funny better than anyone.

Often with film, I find that you're just really getting to know a person. They're just starting to sink in, and then you wrap the film.

I'm not an amazing cook, but I can follow a recipe.

Image
I don't know, I like to go on really different types of dates. Going someplace new or some new part of the city, something that's not your average thing. Something where you just go have an adventure together.

Chemistry is so important in a great kiss. You can act your way through anything, but its hard with a kiss.

Image
I think love is the through line and it's universal and it doesn't matter what period of time, time or place, or people, that's something we all connect to. That's the thin thread that I think keeps it altogether.

The Washington Post was interesting because it's such a politically minded newspaper.

I did get to shadow some amazing brain surgeons, a female brain surgeon in Toronto, another surgeon in London. And then we had a surgeon onset [of Doctor Strange] every day. So and he taught me to do sutures and was practicing on turkey breasts, raw turkey breasts.

[On Doctor Strange] just from costumes to everything was just so well done, so beautifully thought through and well-crafted. And so - , and they didn't even make me pretend that much with green screen.

I hadn't read the Dr. Strange comics growing up.

My mother never put an emphasis on looks. She let us grow up on our own time line. She never forced any beauty regimen into my world.

During a movie, chemistry is so important, and yet they just assume actors can fake their way through it. That doesn't always work.
