Everyone knows the best time to do laundry is later.
Emily Hampshire
To get - or not to get - bangs is a question that women struggle with all their life. I consider this question to be amongst those like, 'What happens when we die? or 'Is there life on other planets?'
I wish I could relive those days when I was 8 and my mother bought all the gifts I gave to people. I loved watching people open them. It was a surprise for me and then.
Time is different in quarantine. It's such a whole other world.
I like being part of a film scene where the person at the top is a really good person.
I'm so bad at dancing that I've actually been in two movies where the director of the film saw me dancing and thought it was so funny that in one movie they had me do it as the mental dancing of a real simple person. The other one was, like, to-be-laughed-at dancing. That's how bad my dancing is.
I'm a bit fashion bipolar. I either really go for it or people think I'm a homeless person.
I've been in this industry since I was 12 years old.
I sometimes fantasize about being an old lady, when you can say the truth that everyone else is thinking and no one is saying.
I think I may be the perfect audience search for Quibi, because I'm a very bite-size kind of person. I can't actually watch long things. The most I can watch is a little episode of 'Forensic Files,' and anything longer than that is too much.
I try to play whole, recognizable human beings.
I'm so terrible with holiday shopping. I want to get something truly incredible for everyone on my list. But, in the end I end up with nothing at all.
I can't say I'm a huge sports fan, so I usually watch the game for the commercials, and I go to Super Bowl parties for the snacks.
I'm not a singer or a dancer, my Broadway dreams are ridiculous.
I only use one mascara and it's actually a drugstore one: the L'Oreal Paris Double Extend Beauty Tubes mascara.
I'm a disaster and I'm super messy.
When you live with someone, it pays to buy them a gift that you would love to have around the house.
A lot of the time you have older writers who think that every teenager says 'dude' all the time.
You're always told in Canadian movies to make it look like the U.S. and people buy into the idea that that's the only way it'll work.
I like to shoot on location 'cause I can just immerse myself in the world of the movie.
I would love for a movie that I'm really proud of to launch my career but I wouldn't like it to be some teen kind of thing that I did for money.
I'm lazy and I do procrastinate about laundry!
I'm a big fan of Charlie Day.
I've come to learn it's a luxury to be a sort of blue collar celebrity in Canada. It makes you more humble.
I actually never thought I wanted to do a series.
Honestly, I think I have this narcolepsy thing with reading. I fall asleep when I'm reading. So, if I stay awake to read an entire script, I'm like, 'Wow, I need to do this.'
I never did commercials. Not that I didn't want to, but because I can't. I am just so bad at it.
I left home to start working pretty young so I missed a lot of Christmases and therefore didn't really take part in any holiday traditions.
As a kid, I used to love going to the cabane a sucre in Montreal to go sugaring off with our school. Sleigh rides, hot maple syrup, pour that syrup on snow and you got yourself some taffy. Need I say more?
I want to be in a position where I get to choose what I do and make the movies I want to make, as opposed to sometimes, you have to make the one you get.
You think of She-Hulk and muscles and stuff, but the person who's behind it is just such a cool character.
In elementary school, I think all my report cards said, 'Emily plays well alone.'
I have a file - my character box - anything from magazines - a pose, a face - I go through these files and arrange a whole person out of them. Because I think what you wear, it says something. It's not necessarily you, but what you want to project.
If you're going to break out anywhere it would be nice to break out in your hometown.
I like a character, not a costume - the idea of putting on clothes and you become someone else.
If there was a time period I could be in, costume-wise, I'd like to be in something with corsets. Like the 1910s, that kind of thing.
I've been an actor since I was 12 and my dream role is Sally Bowles in 'Cabaret.' What's crazy is that I'm not a great singer or dancer but I'll commit.
Maybe This Time' is such a self-empowering song.
I once had those really short Angelina Jolie in 'Girl, Interrupted' bangs - and that was a mistake for me.
I like to see the silver linings in things.
I realize how lucky I am to be able to go a couple months without a paycheck, but a lot of industry people go paycheck to paycheck.
I have this PTSD from a birthday party where no one showed up.
Most shows don't know when they're going to end. They just get canceled.
I'm just really bad at selling anything I don't actually use or like.
I never leave the house.
Every party I do go to, all I'm thinking about is ways to improve it.
There's not a lot of movies I've made that my dad can see.
The Winnipeg cold is different than anything I have ever experienced.
I feel like I am very welcome at TIFF and I think it's because I'm Canadian and I've been there a bunch of times.
I've been lucky to find character parts that are leads as well.
