Off set, I'm always dancing and acting like an idiot. I'm kind of goofy and do stupid things. Am I comic genius? I don't know. But I can be funny.
2
[on the difference between playing comedy and drama] In drama, you coast along your own plotline and know where your character is going.
3
I'm not knocking 24 (2001), but after playing a character like Kim, you can't help wanting to do something completely different. The criticism didn't hurt me. I wasn't writing the storylines, I was just doing the best job I could.
4
[on 24 (2001)] From the beginning, you could tell that it was something really different and it was 10 years of my life. I went from being an 18-year-old girl to a woman.
5
[on Kiefer Sutherland] He taught me not to read anything in the media or on the Internet. He's definitely a long-time mentor to me.
6
I'm a huge fan of video games and comic books. I'm not die-hard or anything, but I definitely appreciate the art in it, which is really cool.
7
I'm very mellow. I think if I hadn't become an actress, I would've lived the simple life. You know, get married and sit on my porch.
8
At the time, Sex and the City (1998) was in its prime and I remember thinking, "God, those girl are so lucky! They got to wear all these different outfits and I'm stuck in the same thing for ten months.".

With friends and family in Montreal, it's always in the back of my mind. I like going back. I miss the nightlife. It's such a great city. I've been a lot of places in the world, and I'm sure I'm biased because I grew up there, but I love it.
10
[on her performance in the Weezer's video] I remember just sort of thinking I'm not going to get to do this too, too often, so I just went crazy and threw alcohol around. I was acting ridiculous and screaming at everybody and throwing a fit.
11
[when asked about moving from Montreal to Los Angeles at age 17] I just went with my gut feeling and thought that if I care this much about what I'm doing, then maybe there are opportunities elsewhere and I'd be stupid not to give it a try.
12
I definitely believe in fate. And I believe what you put in is what you get in return. That's the way it's worked for me. As for the big picture - there's some sort of plan.
13
[on The Girl Next Door (2004)] I don't ever want to be doing the same sort of thing, I never want to be typecast, because I have way too much to give to be sort of, to always be the hot chick in the movie.
14
I was lucky," (in Los Angeles) "I found what I wanted to do when I was 11.
15
I believe not giving up on doing things.
16
I feel like I'm one of the Simpsons. (She will have to stick with the same wardrobe all season on the Fox series 24 (2001).
