I quite enjoy science fiction.

I'm determined to be a diva.

My most recent purchase was a black lace corset.

I thought I wanted to be a brain surgeon until I realized all the schooling it required. I didn't like school very much so I had to come up with something else.

My parents used to take me to a lot of theatre when I was young.

The idea of running around and screaming about Jason Voorhees trying to kill you was fun.

It's a dream part, running around with guns, being an agent.

I sit on my duff, smoke cigarettes and watch TV. I'm not exactly a poster girl for healthy living.

It doesn't matter if you're staying at a four-star hotel, you will never have your whole closet with you.

I do see myself going to LA. Not anytime soon.

I had cleavage that would make Dolly Parton proud. But those things are really heavy and I'm pretty slight of frame, so I took them out. No one even noticed.

I toyed with the idea of pursuing a career as a lawyer just because I like to argue.

I was actually a bit disappointed about the amount of sex in the show. I think Backus should get out a bit more, get a relationship, perhaps make her a lesbian.

The idea of taking off my shoes and trying on all these clothes is so exhausting, I just leave.

I like breaking the rules.

The thing about Canada is, you're not really considered a Canadian actor unless you do something with the CBC.

I'm totally on a mission to find my signature scent, but I'm too mercurial.

I'm a perfume whore.

I'm off to save the universe again. It's a tough job but someone has to do it, and I'm glad it's me.

It doesn't take much to make me happy.

I'm so much more of an East Coast girl than a West Coast girl.

Men with style are great because they have a sense of self.

Seppuku is Japanese for ritual suicide. I thought, What a cute name for a coat.

Thank God my parents had an abundance of patience.

I quite enjoy science fiction.

Being stuck in airports, you always end up buying perfume and sunglasses.

My relationships with my loved ones always take precedence over work.

I'm very proud to be Canadian, but I would move to New York in a heartbeat.

I was taken to one place by a director, and he bought me a lap dance.

Thongs don't show. With jeans, you're always going to get panty lines and I think that's just a big mistake.

For the past 10 years, people have been making fun of the eighties. Why are we bringing them back?

I did some artistic nudes when I was I 8 with a French-Canadian photographer while I was modeling. They were beautiful shots, and they were not about nudity.

I don't really have special rituals, but I don't try to write fiction unless I have a minimum of a few hours. For me, it takes a while to settle into a mode where I'm truly concentrating.

The fact that it's science fiction gives you the license to do anything you want to do.

For someone who writes fiction, in order to activate the imagination and the unconscious, it's essential to be free.

Fiction came quite a while later. I began with short stories and fiction for children.

Mr. Henry James writes fiction as if it were a painful duty.

I'd have been a filmmaker or a cartoonist or something else which extended from the visual arts into the making of narratives if I hadn't been able to shift into fiction.

For truth is always strange; stranger than fiction.

We were given clear concrete tools. The course did a great job demystifying the art of fiction writing and fostering confidence. The instructor brought complex concepts down to earth. I will miss coming here every week.

The biographies and autobiographies are on the whole more impressive than the fiction of the last two decades, but the freakish best sellers among them are least likely to withstand the test of time.

I have never been a critic of science fiction as a whole.

Fiction was invented the day Jonas arrived home and told his wife that he was three days late because he had been swallowed by a whale.

I think if I had been writing fiction, where the work is entirely dependent on the writer's creativity and the potential directions the narrative might take are infinite, I might have frozen.

I have always loved science fiction. One of my favorite shows is 'Star Trek.' I like the trips, where it drops my mind off, because they give you a premise and all of a sudden, you say, 'Oh!' and I'm fascinated by it.

I spent several years acquiring the obsessive, day-to-day discipline that's needed if you want to write professionally, then several more, highly valuable years studying fiction writing at the University of Iowa.

For people who have no critical acumen, a state is a mythical entity, for those who think critically it is a rational fiction, created by man in order to facilitate human coexistence.

There is an element of autobiography in all fiction in that pain or distress, or pleasure, is based on the author's own. But in my case that is as far as it goes.

For the last 30 years our cinemas have been ruled by science fiction and horror. We've had some very good Fantasy films in that time period, but for my tastes I still haven't seen fantasy done to absolute perfection. That is the hope I have in this project.
