Quotations
"I was the one with breasts, so that was my job, to look good."
(Elisha Cuthbert on looking sexy in 24)
"I was lucky, I found what I wanted to do when I was 11."
"I snuck into the back of the cinema when The Girl Next Door
was playing and during the window scene, which pushed the envelope
but didn't actually go there, I remember some of the audience being
really disappointed and going 'Awww...'" (Elisha Cuthbert on her 'nude
scenes' in The Girl Next Door)
"I try really hard after the games not to make too many comments
about how I thought the guys performed. I mean I don't know how
I'd feel if one them came up to me after a scene and said, 'I don't
know if that was believable enough.'" (Elisha Cuthbert on going to
hockey games)
"I definitely believe in fate. And I believe what you put
in is what you get in return. That's the way it's worked for me.
As for the big picture - there's some sort of plan.'"
