Yeah, I think so too. I think you can have more than one home, but one of them is definitely where you grew up for sure.

I agree with you Amanda

Love her recent quote about wanting to "stretch" herself:

Quote:

Playing the character was “an opportunity to challenge myself, stretch myself, with complicated people and issues,” the actress told the audience. “I like that I still have questions. I’ve seen the movie and I was a part of it and I still wonder how I feel about it all and I think that’s very powerful and moving.”

And I actually think this shows in her recent project choices! Which is a good thing

AGREED, so much! It's a bit stressful that she's playing The Love Interest in Passengers but it's still different from what she usually does, which makes me happy. I really like being able to learn a little about her interests via the choices she makes for work.

Also, I finally watched the Q&A after the AMWM screening at Sundance and I loved the part where she said, and I don't remember the EXACT quote, but where she said she watched some German films specific to Hamburg to help with her accent. I wonder what they were!

Maybe a good question to tweet a journalist or send in for a Q&A when we have the chance?

amanda s. · 02-09-2014, 07:30 PM

That's a brilliant idea! Nice one, Lindsey, you'll have to remind me!

I really like this quote (and interview in general):

Quote:

The down-to-Earth actress does, however, cop to taking advantage of one perk of the job in particular. “I love the traveling,” she enthuses. “It’s just nice to get to dip your toes in those waters, but then go home at the end of the day.”

I think that would be my favorite part of it too tbh.

Lovely quote from her interview magazine interview (by Owen Wilson) in which she talks about her parents:

Quote:

"They’re two of the kindest people I know. They’ve taught me a lot about treating people well, and they’re incredibly honest. They have a real sense of fairness and justice, and they keep me very grounded. My dad’s an extremely spiritual person, and my mom’s sort of where I get my gumption from. She’s feisty and a real humanitarian and she worries about the state of the world I’m probably most like her."

Such a great quote! Thanks for sharing, Lindsey.

I really love this quote from her allure interview:

Quote:

And she continues to take her career one careful step at a time. “I’m hoping it’s going to be complicated and have lots of dead ends and corners and sharp turns.” McAdams says, popping another pepper into her mouth. “I hope it can’t be summed up too easily when I’m done.”

This is my favorite quote from her, I think. It's just so great to see what she's thinking in regards to her career. I love that that's what she wants from it.

‘I’m not really a creature of habit,’ she grins. ‘I like trying everything out.’

New quote after receiving her Canada Walk Of fame star:

Quote:

Mean Girls actress McAdams, who was born in London, Ontario, said of the honour, "To be recognised by your own country like this and to be put on this illustrious list of people that have come before is, I mean, is sort of beyond words for me."
