Cobie Smulders

I have so many single girlfriends who fit themselves into the mold of what they think a guy's looking for. But being comfortable around men is about being comfortable with yourself. They gravitate toward confidence. Really, that is what they want to be around. ”

Going to the Comic Cons and meeting people - that's a fun energy to be around. ”

I actually kind of prefer working with an ensemble. It's just cool to be surrounded by such great people. ”

I usually wear a lot of really thin gold bands and small studs. Nothing too big. ”

I feel like starring in a TV show is such a fun thing. ”

I think to be a good model, you have to enjoy having your picture taken, and I never really did. ”

I have a very flexible and easy schedule that affords me a wonderful lifestyle in Los Angeles. I'm able to be a very present mother, able to pursue other projects. ”

There's something cool about traveling when you're young. There's a sense of camaraderie. You learn more about yourself. ”
