Actress

I never thought about being a cop. I'm kind of sensitive. I don't know if I could handle that job. It's hard to go home every day and be able to still live your own life because some of the stuff you see really affects you.

Just because you have chemistry with someone doesn't mean you're naturally going to be the best for each other. You have make choices and prioritize.

I worked at a Sport Chek in Vancouver, only so I could get the discount off snowboard gear. But I hated the job so much, I quit before I got my discount.

Three to four times a week, I get up at 7:30 A.M. while the courts are empty at Venice Beach and play full court one-on-one.

I really, really admire my parents so much, for how they raised me. They're some of the best human beings I know.

I don't think anybody planned for me to be an actor. I didn't. I didn't know this was what I was going to do.

I tried to be really tough when I was younger. I felt I had to stand up for myself. I never felt like I fit in.

I have a real passion for playing a role that's a strong female character, that's just not typical, with a lot of heart, not an easy sell of a movie, not real commercial. It doesn't have to be a big movie, but I'm just looking for something that I really, truly, 100 percent believe in and am behind.

I've been treated really well for 'Stick It.' There was this cop and he pulled me over and he was like, 'Oh my God, you're in 'Stick It.' I said, 'Yes. Yes. You're the last person I would think would be pumped up by this movie'. He let me go, so that was nice.

I think guns are terrible.

IMDb is kind of weird, because people can put things on there, but then I can't change it.

The people that matter to me the most are the people that are in my life. That's who I really learn from, and it's always a very personal kind of connection.

I don't watch the news. I get really emotional about it, and I carry that stuff with me for a long time.

You won't ever see me being totally sexy on 'Rookie Blue.' It's not right for the character, anyway.

I'm hoping that maybe I can be part of a disaster relief effort, something that's real life. That's kind of what I do anytime I stop working: 'OK, what's something that you've really wanted to do?'

I didn't watch a lot of TV growing up.

At the end of the day, it's really, really difficult to make a brand-new show, to write a pilot where you have to introduce characters and everyone has to kind of be dynamic and have something different for themselves.

I'm really inspired by playing strong women. Anything that I can be a part of like that, to be a role model for young women.
