Yvonne Strahovski

Growing up in Australia, space exploration wasn't something I was too aware of.

I had an addiction to sugar growing up - major, major, major.

I was in Toronto when the big Women's March was going on, and I thought, 'Well, I've never been to a protest, and I can't sit this one out, and they're having a gathering here in Toronto, so I may as well go,' and gosh, I didn't expect 60,000 or 65,000 people to be there - it was huge! It was something that I didn't feel I could sit out at all.

I landed the female lead role on 'Chuck' within three days of landing in L.A., so it was a little overwhelming, and I definitely felt like I got thrown into the deep end.

It's nice to see more of those meaty female characters emerging because so often in the industry, it's always about the males.

Working on camera, your face is your career. But I'm not really one to buy into the pressures. At the end of the day, the job I do, it's more about the art and craft of it. If you're good at what you do, there's a place for you in the industry, no matter what you or your skin look like.

If someone takes you out, and you're wearing sweatpants and a T-shirt, and they take you to a fancy place and you're unprepared, that's bad.

The Handmaid's Tale' is a human story, and women's rights are human rights, and it's all about equality, but at the end of the day, it's not equal.

A lot of my friends are in Australia, and it's definitely nice to get back there.

I think the Aussieness got beaten out of me back in the States.

My favorite thing about being an actor is that I get to be so many different people in one lifetime. You sort of get to be all of these different characters.

It's sad that people will invade someone's privacy - and this is not only regarding someone's private photos - but this goes deep into people's financial privacy, their passwords, their emails, their text messages.
