My mom was an aesthetician and she went to beauty school back in the '60s. I just remember watching her do her makeup all the time. She always had her nails done, makeup on - her face was ready to go when she went out. I loved it.
I'm this little Canadian Jewish girl, and I'm living my dream.
I look at my father. He is one of my heroes. He is such an incredible, classy man. He was such a great father and such a great husband in so many ways, and we lived through some pretty tough times losing my mom. When I see all that he did, I think, Wow, thats a really wonderful man.
I have a theory that most people in Hollywood are from Texas.
I got an Apple TV and hooked it up right away. Undeniably, this is the way of the future, period. It just is, and that's cool. What's cool about this is that we got to do something so playful, cool, kick-ass and over-the-top.
I have to be honest, I am a true jeans and t-shirt girl.
I love doing voice-over. It's so fun.
I tell the most horrible jokes.
I generally circuit train and do Pilates.
Acting is not glamorous. It's not. Anybody who wants to get into acting for the glamour is in for a hard time.
I think the dream role is getting the opportunity to really sink my teeth into something and transform in the role.
I appreciate humor so much, but I'm actually not a funny girl.
We have this idea of perfection that is so unrealistic. We are our own worst enemy. No one is noticing that little scar.
I don't know why, but in my career and in my life, I often find myself in situations where I am the only girl among boys.
