It's hard to go with a trend. As soon as it's out, everyone picks it up. It's important to stay true to yourself. Have fun with fashion instead of letting it dictate.
I wanted to build up a little nest egg and go back to L.A. and choose roles that I wanted to do instead of roles that I had to do to pay the bills.
I really wanted to go to the Olympics, but everyone wanted me to model for them, so I said what the hell, why not!
Canadians have this weird way about them where we really stick together.
I kept my clothes on. I borrowed money.
I like to go out and see what a city's all about.
Coming from a barely clothed childhood as a swimmer makes me really comfortable with my body.
I really appreciate the sport background because the structure and the discipline that that gives a person is incredible, and it just carries with you wherever you go.
I think acting is definitely the most fulfilling, because it's the most challenging in my mind.
I wanted to build up a little nest egg and go back to L.A. and choose roles that I wanted to do instead of roles that I had to do to pay the bills.
I've been really lucky. When I decided to go to LA I said I was going to quit modelling and just go and see how I do. In the first two weeks I got three movies. I was so excited I had all my furniture shipped out from New York.
I love the work, I love being in front of the camera and working with actors and directors and creating something. For me, it's like learning everyday.
Yeah, I've had an odd youth, But I wouldn't know the difference if I'd lived it any other way. And I wouldn't change any of it because I quite like what I'm doing.
You really don't do anything else in your life; it's a very little bubble that you grow up in. And you have to live in that bubble because of the intensity of the sport.
