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.

If I hurt someone, if I were to accidentally poke someone's eye out, I would laugh. And then I'd say, 'I'm sorry, I really do feel bad,' but then I'm on the floor rolling.

Image
The craziest thing I've ever done to get a guy's attention? I admit I stalked someone. I showed up at a restaurant where I knew the guy worked, and we were actually good friends and had lost touch, and I pretended that I didn't know he worked there.

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

I've always liked dressing up. And I love a high heel - the higher the better. I just feel funny in flats.

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

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.

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.

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.

I've been given lots of great advice, in my life. As an actor, just being as honest and as present as you can be.

The physical part of comedy is as hard as a lot of action movies. It scares me, but in a way that I like.

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.

I guess I'm an actor - just human behaviour's just fascinating to me. I mean, I'd like to be.

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

Growing up I had a real disconnect with the planet.

I'm a little funny when it comes to blood and guts and stuff like that.

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.

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.

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 have some issues. But I just love to play different characters all the time, and I try not to repeat myself too much.

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.
