Interview with Ellen Page about Juno

The Envelope has an interview with Ellen Page about the movie “Juno” from her home in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Among the more interesting points, Ellen discusses how she was like Juno at her age:

I was like Juno when I was younger in certain ways, as were my friends. Sixteen-year-old girls do wear sweater vests and flannel shirts, and that’s OK.

It’s so annoying when you’re constantly being told what you’re supposed to enjoy and what you’re supposed to find sexy and how you’re supposed to be, and so on and so forth.

I think a film like “Juno,” when it steps away from what’s so traditional in the media right now, I think it’s just refreshing for people. And maybe they don’t even know why — it could be inexplicable, just this feeling of ‘Oh, thank you.’ At least it was for me when I read it.
