I do love doing films; I love going out and creating different characters for each film, and not having to be stuck with one role for many, many years. It's a creative liberty that I love.
My only requirement for life is that I don't get stuck in a rut.
I always did TV commercials and made great money to put myself through school. That became guest starring roles on TV shows.
A lot of big studio films, which are fun and great, tend to have a formula, and you've seen it before, and it's a new version of it.
I don't think many people were, but I love the black, the tassels and the leather, obviously. I'm still wearing that. I haven't let go of that. I love all things leather, and so I love that from her outfits as well. But I don't know if I would necessarily do the Mozart top, the button down, the 'Hot For Teacher' kind of look. That's not really my thing. I would let that one go.
I love a good Slash guitar riff. It's sexy!
Those are my favorite kind of parts to do, just being a goofball and seeing how far you can go with something until you're just way out of line.
Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd are really amazing, lovely people and really great comedic actors.
Modeling was never anything that was a career choice. I did catalog work in Toronto to make money so that I could go to school.
I like when you watch a film and you feel like you're a part of somebody's life for an hour and a half.
I think it's critical in any character you play that it really is about reacting instead of acting. You can always tell when a person is acting.
I'm a big pasta fan. I'm a big Italian food fan. Anything Italian - I love cheese, mozzarella. Mozzarella is my favorite, so I have to say anything Italian, I'll take it.
The funny thing is that my husband couldn't be sweeter. He looks like this bad boy. He's got tattoos and earrings and a mohawk, but when you talk to him and he's around you, he's such a gentleman. He holds doors for ladies. He pulls out chairs. He cooks. He cleans.
Every time I'm in Canada I feel more Swedish, and every time I'm in Sweden I feel more Canadian. I belong in both places and I love them both equally. It's funny because the Swedes claim me as their Swedish pride and the Canadians call me their Canadian girl. I'll take it all.
I have this weird obsession with kids and old people falling. Like, funny falls. It is awful, but it's the thing that makes me laugh the most.
I don't really have an issue with showing certain parts of my body. I'd rather not, but it's not a big deal. Growing up in Sweden, it's natural over there.
I think Cate Blanchett is fabulous - she just shines in everything she does - and I'm a big Susan Sarandon fan.
I was a groupie for a year and followed a band. I dated the drummer of the band.
It's definitely been a conscious decision to seek out roles that are different, in any way, from anything that I've done, just to prove to myself that I can do it and to challenge myself. If I can, then great, it will open up those doors and just prove to other directors and peers that I am, in fact, available for things other than comedy.
I am extremely lucky that I have a husband who is so supportive. He's not in the slightest bit jealous or worried about the things I do in certain scenes.
The nature of the business is that, once you start proving yourself and the more roles you get, the more exciting the roles that you're able to go out and do auditions for, or that you're being offered, get. You have more choices.
I love women like Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton, who kind of go out on a limb and do their own thing. I find it very inspiring and it allows you to do what you want to do.
I think we can leave mullets back in the '80's. Don't you? I'm really not a big fan of them. I did like the permed hair that I had in it. That was great, and I think that we should always have '80's music, forever and ever and ever. I'm a big fan.
I always love the quirky stuff, which is why I love Childrens Hospital. That really pushes the envelope of comedy.
That's when you're laughing the hardest because you're not really in character. You're just trying to learn the moves, but once they call, "Action!", you're in it and it's like you transport yourself to a different place.
