I'm A Tomboy From Nova

I Hate How Box Office Failures Are Blamed On An Actress, Yet I Don’t See A Box Office Failure Blamed On Men. I Think A Lot Of The Time In Films, Men Get Roles Where They Create Their Own Destiny And Women Are Just Tools, Supporters For That. I Guess It’s Because We Live In A Patriarchal Society, Where Feminism Is A Dirty Word.

I Love Playing Roles That Are Physical, Absolutely Love. Whether It's Just That Kind Of Basic Level Of Physicality Or Whether It's Stunts.

I Think It's Really Easy For People To Point Out Hypocrisy In People's Lives. It's Like Yeah, I Get On Planes A Lot, And I Drank From A Plastic Water Bottle Today - You Know What I'm Saying? A Lot Of People Would Just Be Like, "oh, You're A Hypocrite. You Live In An Ecovillage For A Month, And Then You Fly Around The World To Talk About A Movie." Don't Think That I Don't Think About Those Things! Don't Think That That's Not, Like, A Quandary In My Life. It Can Be A Pretty Intense Ethical Dilemma. I Think It's About Figuring Out, You Know, Navigating Life.

I Feel Like We've Inherited Modern Infrastructure, And I Could Run Away From It And Become A Full-time Activist, Or I Can Try To Do My Job, And Try To Talk About Things I Care About, And Be Able To Do Something Like Sponsor A Topsoil Conference In Nova Scotia, And Talk About Bill Mckibben, And Narrate A Documentary About The Vanishing Of The Bees, And Try To Navigate My Way Through This World The Best Way Possible. That's What I'm Trying To Figure Out. Probably Like Many People Right Now.

It's Weird Because Here I Am, An Actress, Representing - At Least In Some Sense - An Industry That Places Crushing Standards On All Of Us. Not Just Young People, But Everyone. Standards Of Beauty. Of A Good Life. Of Success. Standards That, I Hate To Admit, Have Affected Me.
