Elisha Cuthbert

I was bitten by a brown recluse spider. It got me as I was coming out of the shower. I'd never seen that kind of spider before, I'm from Canada and we don't get those types up there.

Some of the things I've seen a lot of my female-actress friends who are relatively famous receive - I've seen some hideous things. Like some really, really bad things... like, the FBI should be contacted immediately.

The problem with TV now is that there's so much competition, that you're always on the chopping block.

I tend to stay out of the public eye a little, compared to some of my peers.

I don't look in the mirror and think that I have flaws. I actually look in the mirror and see me. I see a lot of different characters and a lot of different things.

I think that, back in the day, there used to be a lot of horror films that kind of had a checklist of what went into making the 'perfect horror film', and I think now people are raising the bar in the industry, as far as the types of horror films that are being made.

I'm used to being someone else 10 months out of the year.

I think it's so wrong to play the victim. There's too many brave women out there that just won't even tolerate it, you know?

I watch what I eat obviously. I'm not a regular gym-goer but I'm conscious of it.

Celebrity or no celebrity, I think a lot of females deal with the fear of being abducted.

I just don't like showing everything I've got. I don't want to look like I'm trying too hard to be sexy.

I do try and stay away from the stereotype and getting typecast.
