The majority of fathers that I saw when I was growing up in Vancouver didn't take the responsibility to look after their kids, and I was aware that society is geared towards punishing single women.

What I like about 'Lay the Favourite' is that it shows gambling as a profession, as this real grind-it-out job, with no glamour about it at all.

I was briefly in the original version of 'Tombstone,' but I didn't make the final cut because that movie went through a couple of different permutations.

There's a romance and power to live theater.

Becoming a mother has been the best experience of my life, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

You should never have regrets in life. All the steps that I have taken in my career have served for something, and I have learned from them.

Being in L.A. has definitely given me the opportunity to experience how my music sounds in real life because I can drive around and listen to the mixes, which I couldn't do in New York. I get to feel how a song works in combination with a sunset and a drive through the mountains.

Each experience I go through - marriage, my public life, my personal life - I'm learning as I go.
