I'm determined to be a diva.

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.

Americans tend to feel satisfied within the wide boundaries of that huge, big country.

You never know what makes some people tick until they begin to unwind.

The whites are the same everywhere. I see them every day.

Whenever the party-girl tag gets attached to my name, it makes me want to snort with derision.

I love a good safari.

I dropped out of high school and I couldn't go to college 'cause I wasn't smart enough, so I'd resigned myself to loading trucks and playing punk rock on the weekends.

A cookie a day keeps the sadness away. An entire jar of cookies a day brings it back.

I grew up with a younger brother, so I can get pretty rowdy.

Power? It's like a Dead Sea fruit. When you achieve it, there is nothing there.

I don't want any romantics to go into the military. I'm not a pacifist. I think we need a military, and the better one we have, the better off we are. I don't want kids going in there thinking that it's John Wayne on Iwo Jima. That's not healthy.

The personal is political, but only to a point.

We all know now that people can look good for their age. It isn't so extraordinary, I don't know why people go on about it so much.

We all wish to live. We all seek a world in which men are freed of the burdens of ignorance, poverty, hunger and disease. And we shall all be hard-pressed to escape the deadly rain of nuclear fall-out should catastrophe overtake us.

Aim at a high mark and you'll hit it. No, not the first time, nor the second time. Maybe not the third. But keep on aiming and keep on shooting for only practice will make you perfect.

Violence ravaged my life. I was a victim of hatred, and I have dedicated my life to reversing that hatred.

I believe everything in moderation. But breakfast is important. I have two hard-boiled or scrambled eggs with whole-wheat toast and try to get some fruit in there.

When I joined Labour in 1982, I didn't feel I belonged to a party born to power. My repeated experience was of bitter and repeated defeats.
