I changed jobs like I changed shirts. It was something I just like to do - I like trying my hand at everything.Collection: Jobs
I think men don't know what they want, so the idea of not knowing what they're getting makes it a little easier on them.Collection: Men
I don't have the educated knowledge of what textures, colors, shapes and spaces need to be put together to make something just right. I'm learning it by trial and error, which is something that's slow going.Collection: Space
Truthfully, I love being in the jungle. I love it when the make-up artists come to set, they come equipped with dirt and sweat. I spend my days climbing trees and I can crawl out of bed and walk on set and that's exactly all I have to look like.Collection: Artist
Nature inspires us. Not being able to reach out and touch it, or see it, makes me get really antsy.Collection: Inspire
I have to have nature around me. I love the earth and this insanely beautiful creation that we live in. I just think it's to be marveled at and appreciated. It gives us life.Collection: Beautiful
I tended to be a solitary young girl, and I still am. I would like to find a quiet corner and color in my coloring book. When I think back, I made that corner mine, not really caring about the rest of the house.Collection: Girl
Ironically, when I hit adolescence, I was approached about modeling and acting all the time. And, for five years, I said, "No, I'm not interested. I want a simple life, I don't want to be in the spotlight."Collection: Simple
I don't know why, but the warmth and the comfort of flickering light help. And a fire, in the fireplace or on the beach, is very comforting. I think when you make something consistent and familiar, it helps. I light candles every single night in my home.Collection: Beach
I cried myself to sleep wishing I was ugly because men leered and disrespected me.Collection: Love
I love my home. It's the only thing I really spend money on. I don't really spend a lot of money on anything else. No fancy cars. No designer clothes.Collection: Home
I like fantasy. I like worlds where sometimes you need the special effects to make it come alive, but it's not so fun acting it.Collection: Fun
Diets are a fool’s errand. I eat something sweet every day, whether it’s chocolate or a cookie. If I don’t, I guarantee you that there’s going to be a day every week when I’m going to stuff myself, especially if it’s PMS time.Collection: Sweet
I just like short hair on women, I think it's cool. And I have wanted to cut my hair for very many years, but being on contract with a television show for six years prevents you from doing that, and then being on contract with a cosmetic endorsement campaign prevents you from doing that again. So for eight years, I've had to have long, flowing locks. And I was just so sick and tired of long, flowing locks, so I chopped them.Collection: Tired
My character is different from all of the Elves you've met before, in that she's really young. And I keep telling journalists this because I've really focused on that in my performance. I'm trying to distinguish her from all of these incredibly sage and wise Elves that have lived for thousands of years.Collection: Wise
I like ambiguity. I think it's so much more interesting to play than an overtly good or an overtly evil person.Collection: Thinking
People initially think I'm a snob because I'm intensely private.Collection: Thinking
I read every single letter. Some just break my heart. I've cried over letters that have come in, from young women and older women alike, saying to me, "You know, you made me want to stop crash dieting and just be healthy. You are my role model. I want to be like you."Collection: Heart
I actually write as a passion, as something I actually am more passionate about than acting.Collection: Passion
There's a massive part of me that can be bold and courageous...very strong and very assertive and independent, almost to a fault sometimes.Collection: Strong
I am so glad that I get to maintain a relatively down-to-earth lifestyle.Collection: Earth
I eventually want to come back to Canada, to disappear, have nobody know me, and just be a writer and do what I want to do.Collection: Want
To impress me, a guy has to be completely unaffected by my presence. If he wants to talk to me, talk to me; if he doesn't, don't.Collection: Guy
Even though I'm resting I'm accomplishing something by sewing that shirt that I've been meaning to sew for weeks. And it's relaxing. It's so very meditative and quiet and enjoyable. But at least I'm producing something. I'm being productive in some way. I have a very hard time being completely idle.Collection: Hard Times
I'm surrounded by people who care about me and love me. I have a great job. I have wonderful roommates who take care of me. I have a family who adores me.Collection: Jobs
I just like short hair on women; I think its cool.Collection: Thinking
