"We all have struggles; we all go through times that are difficult. What I found is there’s strength in talking about what’s happening. That we are only as sick as our secrets. If we are harbouring all of those things, and we’re not talking about them, we’re just getting sicker. If we tell somebody about it, it’s out there – it’s gone. It’s not necessarily gone like you don’t have to deal with it, but it’s not weighing you down any more, as this embarrassing horrible thing. It’s out there. There’s really nothing that can’t be worked through. I’ve seen that in myself, I’ve seen that in other people I know that live their life the way I do."

"When I’m not busy I don’t feel fulfilled. It keeps my brain from turning to potatoes. Relaxing in the shade with a glass of wine would be nice, but it’s not my first choice."

"Any time that I’m on set or with somebody that I admire–even somebody that I don’t admire–I just try to get into full sponge mode and just absorb everything that I possibly can, and sort of sort through it later in terms of what I like and didn’t like. I don’t know if I can put a name on everything that I’ve learned, but certainly there’s an excellence there. There’s a commitment to the craft of comedy that I really admire and a work ethic."

"With gymnastics, the floor routine was always my favorite, and I was always very dramatic with it. In terms of the performance aspect of acting, gymnastics definitely helped me with that. But it also gave me determination, hard work and focus. I definitely think every life experience can be valuable in that way."

"I think learning about women coders is absolutely important. It’s part of our history. There’s so much in this world that we don’t cover, and I think it’s so important to know that these amazing, incredible, intelligent women were severely over looked…because they were women."

"I still live in Beautiful B.C.! I love it here and you'd have to work pretty hard to get me to leave!"

"It’s not that I don’t enjoy doing the horror genre, but no painter wants to paint the same painting over and over again. That’s what appealed to me as well. I think I’ve always said it would be a dream of mine that when somebody sees my demo reel, for them to not recognize me from role to role. I did appreciate the fans and the love that I got from that community because they’re a very tight community, but it was an ongoing joke that I wanted to live in a movie. Just one. “I just need to not die in things, that would be amazing.”"

"We have been singing together since we were kids, so the progression from living-room hobby to professional career kind of felt natural. I think we both always knew that we would pursue music together."

"As much as I can’t handle watching horror movies (because they scare me too much) I absolutely love acting in them and taking advantage of any opportunity to use my horror scream! I love the prosthetics, the blood, the dirt and just scaring other people. I think horror fans are the absolute best and my horror fans in particular have been so incredibly loyal—they are some of the sweetest people I’ve ever met."

"Trudeau flew in from Tobago, the sister island of Trinidad, where he has been holidaying with his wife since Tuesday. Shortly after his luncheon engagement, Trudeau took a return plane to Tobago to rejoin his wife, Margaret. The Canadian high commission said it was in not in a position to say when the prime minister and his wife would leave Tobago."

"Señora Perez, I would like to thank you. I would like to sing to you, to sing a song of love; for I have watched you with my eyes wide open. I have watched you with learning eyes. You are a mother, and your arms are open wide for your children, for your people. Mrs. Perez, you are working hard."

"Fidel made it clear in his opening remarks that the parents were important but not nearly as important as the baby. In some pictures Fidel had a big patch of wet saliva on his uniform because he had come over early to cuddle the baby. A very warm and charming man — I enjoyed him. I am very proud that Canada helped facilitate this; we have long, trusted ties. . . . This is good news and I celebrate with the Cuban people. It was very kind of him, he was very proud of what he was doing with their children in establishing them as strong citizens. What a fabulous place. The people are filled with life and music and happy in spite of very difficult times. Some of them work four jobs to support their families. They are wonderful people and I think this is an opportunity for them to really evolve as they need to."

"sexiest man I’ve ever met"

"Trudeau and his wife left here Monday by chartered plane on a quick sidetrip to an unidentified nearby island. They arrived here Thursday on a brief "second honeymoon,""

"You know my eyes are not very strong. So every day to make them stronger I force myself to look at the sun. I find it very hard. But do you know what I find harder? That is to look into the blue of your eyes."

"Just because I don't do bad things doesn't mean I don't have bad thoughts."

"I spill water on myself all the time at nice restaurants. I've run into poles and knocked myself out."

"Since I was a kid, I've been telling everyone about the rain forest and how it's being destroyed."

"I'd fly. I sit and watch the birds go by and say, I wish I could do that."

"When I filmed the pilot, I thought it was a quality show with a good cast, but I had no expectations. I just hoped people would connect with it because there's a lot of heart."

"I never dreamed of being an actor, but I'm beginning to love it more and more because I like challenging myself. When I feel like I'm not learning or having fun anymore, then I'll stop."

"Sometimes I love [acting] but then sometimes I think it's too much for me. And I don't know if it is something that I could do for the rest of my life."
