If you ever had anyone in your life who has been struggling with addiction or struggling with anything, it's about the resilience of love and how much you're willing to struggle with somebody to preserve your relationship and to try to preserve them as a person - and I think that's really important.
I think the mark of a good director is that they surround themselves with good people.
I really like directors who give you a certain amount of autonomy because I think a lot about my characters and I think a lot about scenes and choices.
I think when you work with really wonderful directors who have a really strong vision, it lets you as an artist set the tone for your own career.
It sounds really corny but every film that you do is its own journey, it's its own experience, it's its own thing. Often you think it's going to be one way and then it goes another way - you think you can chart a character and then other things happen. That's the amazing thing about our jobs, it's constantly changing and it's extremely dynamic and you therefore have to be dynamic as well.
Since 'A Dangerous Method,' I've had meetings with everyone from J.J. Abrams to the producers of 'Drive.' And they all have the same thing in common; they say: 'Wow you worked with Cronenberg.' He gave me instant film cred.
It's particularly important for a young woman to be in control of her image - to a certain extent. I mean, there's only so much you can do, because people take photos with you and then all of a sudden they pop up all over the place, they're completely out of context and you have no control over how they're used.
Movement is very important to a character, no matter what period you're working in. So when it came to playing Emma Jung and lacing up in the corset, it was really not a foreign thing for me.
I'm a part-time student, and I plan to finish my degree. I think there are a lot of part-time students with jobs on the side or stressful careers. I'm certainly not the first person to be working while I'm in university.
I do build my own backstory as an actor. It's important to know where your characters have come from in order to know where they're going - in order to exist in that state of being.
I think I'll always base myself out of Toronto. I don't have any plans to move to L.A.
You can have a bunch of great actors in a film, but if you don't have anyone telling a great story, it's a moot point.
I've studied dance since I was very young, and I continue to study ballet.
I think Tilda Swinton is terribly interesting. I think she's fascinating. I love her work.
