Zitat des Tages von Cobie Smulders:
What's more awkward than doing a shower scene? Rehearsing a shower scene.
The experience of pregnancy - it depends on your situation, but it can be quite isolating.
When you're doing a movie, it's finite - you have a trajectory of where your character's going, and you follow that. Then the storybook closes.
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.
I really like the character of Jack Reacher - I thought he was interesting.
I wanted to be a marine biologist my whole life until I graduated high school. And even now, I'm still like, 'Maybe I'll just quit the biz and go to Santa Cruz and study marine biology and have my own research center in the Bahamas.' Yeah, I'm sure it would be just that smooth.
I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to designers, but I love going to fashion shows just to see the other personalities that show up. It's such an eclectic group, and everybody is sort of like an artist.
I've never been the person who's like, 'I've got to get a four-pack of abs!' And I'm not the type to go to the gym and run on the treadmill for 45 minutes and then lift weights.
I would drive down in my Volkswagen Jetta to Los Angeles and just audition, audition, audition, audition, and hopefully get something. I did that for two years, and the third year I came down, I auditioned for 'How I Met Your Mother.'
The great thing about being on a series for nine years is you get to see the characters grow and change.
I still don't find myself a very confident person about my looks or my body.
The problem is my movie career is hindering my hockey schedule.
In my early twenties, I had no idea who I was. And I think that's one reason you should try different relationships. I've had good and bad ones, but I took away things from them that helped me become who I am.
I live a life where I have a huge support system, and I've been very lucky.
Models need to be unionized.
I try to take an exercise class twice a week.
I'm a very private person.
I think everybody feels their pregnancy differently, and for me, I was so in work mode.
I wish that we, as women, spent as much time on the well-being of our insides as we do with our looks on the outside.
The hardest thing is getting fake hit. You really have to sell it. Somebody comes at you and stops a couple inches from your face. You have to react like it's painful. In my training, those were the days I was more sore, doing gut punches or getting thrown against walls. You're moving your body in a way that's not natural.
When I got the script for 'Winter Soldier,' I was so excited to see that my character finally gets to punch somebody! So I took tae kwon do three times a week. I wanted to feel like I could hold my own in a roomful of superheroes.
I've been in 'Avengers' films, but I don't do a lot of the action parts. There are superheroes in the movie! People would much rather see them fight each other!
Before I did 'How I Met Your Mother,' I was not considered a comedic actress.
I won't say no to projects I believe in if there's a good story there.
I keep fooling people into giving me jobs, and now I'm on Broadway. It's always something I've wanted to be a part of, and I can't believe that this is the experience I'm having.
They're inherently good people, every single person that I've ever worked with on an 'Avengers' film. I think they want to do good, and they want people to be happy, and they want to speak what they believe.
One of the major complaints for long-running shows is that they become mundane.
I'm pretty money savvy. My dad made me read 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' when I was 12 - this investing book about how to manage your money and be smart. So I'm kind of like a grandmother.
Sometimes I feel like women of the world who are single moms and are working in Walmart are the strongest women out there, and that's what's really exciting to me is being all these different types of women.
I usually wear a lot of really thin gold bands and small studs. Nothing too big.
I felt very patriotic playing a New York City cop.
When you're driving Tom Cruise around, and he's literally a race car driver, and you're supposed to be driving like you really know what you're doing... It's quite intimidating.
I'd love to shoot something in Toronto; I'd love to bring something to Canada. I'm dying to shoot something in Vancouver where I'm from.
I played football for 12 years, but I would always trick myself into exercise, like by taking a dance class.
Just when your ovaries should be brimming with youthful follicles, cancerous cells overtook mine, threatening to end my fertility and potentially my life.
I've worn stilettos since I was 12, so I have abused my feet to the point of no return.
