Quote

"It is important to me to stay in Canada. I used to think it was because I thought it was important to build up an indigenous film industry - but now I realise I'm incapable of living anywhere else. I'm a real homebody."

"I was pretty uninterested in acting until I was about 17. I wanted to got to university and never think baout acting again. I'd been very politically involved for a couple of years and I wanted a break, so I did The Sweet Hereafter in 1997. But I ended up completely falling in love with acting."

"I always think it's a bit of a joke when I get described as an activist. Really, for two or three months of my year I organise stuff, but I'm not as involved as I used to be."

"I started acting when I was four. My first experience on a film set was in dead of winter. Now I realise that almost every film I've ever been in is like that. It was the beginning of a long career of incredibly cold, sparse, barren landscapes."

"The guy who taught me to use the shotgun was a complete gun nut. I asked, 'Is the safety on when it's to the right or off when it's to the right?' And he said, 'The way I like to remember it is right is safe, like the government, and left is unsafe, like the people we are shooting at.' And I'm thinking, 'I'm in a room with my worst nightmare who's teaching me how to shoot a shotgun. How did this happen to me?'"
"I missed out on a traditional childhood but I had something else that got me to what I am doing today. I can't say I regret it but I certainly wouldn't let my child act at an early age."
On her film "Dawn of the Dead" (2004) going up against Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" head-to-head at the box office: "They've got only one guy who comes back from the dead. We've got millions."
