Turns out, I couldn't catch them - or even get close to them. I realized that sharks are amazing, beautiful animals who have absolutely no interest in checking me out.
Unfortunately, I like to feel a little stubble when I kiss. Women are too soft.
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.
I do love doing films; I love going out and creating different characters for each film, and not having to be stuck with one role for many, many years. It's a creative liberty that I love.
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.
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.
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 think we can leave mullets back in the '80s. I'm really not a big fan of them.
I was a groupie for a year and followed a band. I dated the drummer of the band.
A perfect schedule is to be able to do something dark and then go into something lighter to ease up a little bit.
Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd are really amazing, lovely people and really great comedic actors.
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'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.
