Actress

I love to do Pilates, Bar Method, and spin. I'm addicted.

It's always exciting when you love something and you get the opportunity to share it with more people.

If you're not a workout person, go there 75 percent fast asleep. Anybody who has ever been in one of my workout classes knows I'm there practically in my pajamas!

It's aspirational for me. I've lived as a cat lady. I'm happy to be a cat lady. I'll continue to be a cat lady. Just bring them all to my house, and I'll keep them all, no problem.

I guess there are all these women with a big secret - they're hiding men they are ashamed of. They come up to me and say: 'I've been dating this guy for six months in secret but none of my friends know. I can't give him up even though he's embarrassing.'

Growing up, I remember watching TV, and I didn't see a lot of people who looked like me, especially someone who passed as a glamorous model on a mainstream TV show.

The thing about dating someone who listens to a totally different genre than you is they can help you find things to appreciate in that genre.

That's my family; we have a very British sense of humour, very dry.

You can't force chemistry. It's either there or it's not. You can't create it.

I have an extended family of close friends, guy and girls.

You can spend the day at work, but when you go home, and you're in the role of a father or a husband, you don't have to remind yourself that you shouldn't tell your wife to hold the messages. If you do, that marriage is not going to last very long.

When I lived in London, I worked at the U.N. for a while as its human rights and refugees officer. I have two degrees, and my second was in radio. I was a programmer and news reporter in Canada. My CV looks bananas.

I am a little obsessed with surprise kitty.

We all have our strengths and our failings.

If someone wants to take me on a date? I don't know if I'd say no.

I remember the first time my friend Colin Lewis, who used to be a judge with me on a show on MuchMusic called 'disBAND,' told me, 'I think I just found your next favorite artist to adore.' He sent me The Weeknd, and he was completely spot on. The Weeknd is literally on every playlist I have.

When people tell really good stories in songs, I really like it.

Flirting is funny. And it's awkward and weird.

After I graduated in Vancouver, I had been working on a book about war-affected children and land mines with the foreign minister - he was working at a place on campus and hired me. I then got a job as a Human Rights and Refugees Officer in London, and I loved working there.

You can't force chemistry. It's either there or it's not. You can't create it.
