I'm a bit of a grandma: I don't really understand the Twitter and the Instagram.

I admire JLo because she succeeded in breaking through and harmonizing two different cultures.

If people remember me for any scene in a Lars von Trier film, I'm extremely honoured and forever grateful.

For the most part, I don't do anything to my brows. They aren't bleached, just naturally light. Maybe when I was a little kid, I thought they were strange, but I realized as I got older, the things that make you different are the things that are special about you.

It's not the actor's job to be interesting; that's the script's job. It's our job to be truthful and brave.

If I had not become an actress, I would be a journalist or a psychologist: I like to analyze the mind and be involved in political moments that change history.

My name is actually Mia Gypsy - my mum said she named me that because of everywhere I'm from. She felt that I'd always be roaming from place to place, and I've always felt like that.

Auditioning is like boxing: It keeps me hungry and intense, whether I get the part or not.

In the lead-up to 'The Survivalist,' I saw a trainer five times a week, and I'd run an hour a day.

I don't think about my look that much, to be honest. It's what I've always known, it's what I've grown up with, and I wouldn't ever want to step too far away from my most authentic self.

I want to be a woman who has a little bit more figured out, who doesn't have so many doubts.

When I was ten, I went to seven schools in one year in Nova Scotia. Me and my mum moved there so that I could be closer to my dad, who is an ice-truck driver, but it didn't work out.

I want to seem completely bare. Especially when I'm reading for a role. I want to reveal myself in the audition room. That's where I'm happiest.

I was very girly growing up; I loved pink and doing my makeup and doing my hair and painting my nails.

I remember putting mascara on when I was 13 for the first time and going to the shop to buy a chocolate bar. I felt so exposed. I remember wearing a bra for the first time and feeling very exposed by that.

When I finish a film, I want to feel drained. I want to feel like I couldn't have possibly done any more to service a character and a story.

I think it's important to change your hair up once in a while - not to always remain the same.

I see myself as a professional feeler.

'The Survivalist' really makes you think. It stays with you.

I am obsessed with cinema and its history.

So often, in films, there are two ways a female can be portrayed: either innocent and virginal or the complete opposite.

The fashion world has become a lot more embracing of me since I became an actress.

I'm all for art-house foreign directors - I think they make terrific films - and I'm also for the bigger budget movies. It just depends on what the character is, the director, the script.

Modelling is very two-dimensional. You really don't have to bare anything.

Blush is really fresh and young, really invigorating. I like it more than bronzer. I think it's just a bit more lively.

I think any actor, if they had the choice, would opt for challenging roles that test their capabilities.

Being an actor is a nomadic profession, and I just try to feel at home wherever I am at that moment.

I think the world is kind of catching on that gender roles aren't so necessary and becoming a lot less defined and starting to become a lot more about the individual and character of that person.

I'm very private about my private life. I don't like to go into too much depth about it.

I'll take a multi-vitamin in the morning. I think that always helps.

Being an actor requires a lot of self-analysis and reflection. The better you know who you are, the better you are at becoming another person.
