Annie Murphy

I had a very wonderful growing up. I was surrounded by loving people.

As cliche as it is, I was a huge Audrey Hepburn girl growing up.

And I just have a dream one day of dancing in Ibiza to 'A Little Bit Alexis.' That's my long-term goal.

For a long time, I thought I was going to go into law, but theatre just kept being so present in my life.

I do think that working with Canadians, there is quite a sense of humility.

I remember going to friends' houses and being fascinated when they got into fights with their siblings.

There is so much heartbreak and letdown in this industry. You get your heart set on something, and then you're sitting by the phone for three weeks and it never rings.

I did a web series years ago where I helped write a kind of a spoof called 'Young Love.'

About two years into living in Toronto, my apartment burned to the ground. My husband and I ended up living in his grandparents' attic for a year and a half.

It's always funny to watch the scene that you know took a thousand takes.

Write and create as much as you can, because if you're sitting around waiting for someone to give you a well-round, interesting, incredible role on a silver platter, you're going to be a real cute skeleton covered in cobwebs when that happens.

World peace. I know it's a big ask, but I really really really want it.
