MARTHA MACISAAC

I just love being around my family during the holidays.

If I grew up with a dysfunctional family, I would eventually start a book club.

I watch 'Jeopardy!' every night and 'Wheel of Fortune' follows. And every time I'm like, 'Whoa, it's still on! This is still happening!'

Any person who says their family is perfectly functional is lying.

Here's a trick to giving the birds-and-bees talk: You gotta do it in a car, so they can't escape. That's what all my girlfriends' parents did.

Since I was 4, Julia Roberts has inspired me. I thought if I liked her enough, I'd become as pretty as her. That didn't happen, but I was obsessed and watched her movies over and over.

I just try to play make-believe and pretend the world is magical and awesome as much as possible.

I don't have a creepy uncle, but I certainly have many, many uncles. My mom has twelve brothers and sisters, and my dad has two sisters and three brothers. Their maturity level is still hovering around fifteen when they all get together, but they're not necessarily creepy.

There is sort of a small town mentality on the east coast of Canada.
