I didnt know a skunk was that cute.
Our skunks name was Stella, which is also my sisters name.

Its the cutest little thing and I wanted to take it home.
I wanted it to feel as grounded as possible since its already a heightened reality.
There are no boundaries.

I think thats amazing.
If I can be a staple in peoples households at Christmastime, Im totally into that!
So, if youre going to make something for the people, make it what they want.
It seems that were willing to suspend our disbelief with these types of movies more than any other genre.
A time-traveling knight sounds crazy on paper, but its easy to get swept up in, here.
So, I think you associate magic with this time of year.
Everyone wants to believe in the magic of Father Christmas, so we suspend our disbelief from the get-go.
Im ready earlier and earlier every year.
Im watching these movies from mid-October on.
Is it ever too early for Christmas?I amsonot that.
I love that for you.
Im assuming Christmas is your favorite holiday?
So, I totally get how people are with Christmas.
[Laughs] Of course!
You brought this into the world as star and executive producer.
But hes like, Just because I cant explain it, doesnt mean it cant be.
Thats a beautiful thing, because thats faith.
You dont have to see it to get to believe it.
Ive been in a relationship for the last eight years, and I 100 percent believe in true love.
I think that everyone should have a chance at it.
Its a beautiful, special thing.
Whats life without love?
Nothing says Christmas romance like jokes about douches, wenches, and medieval punishment.
The humor here is so great and unexpected.
Thats one thing that drew me to it: It was really funny.
I had the most hand in grounding it and making it my own.
I wanted it to feel as grounded as possible since its already a heightened reality.
There are no boundaries.
If you want to do it, do it.
I definitely still used my hand-warmers.
OnPrincess Switch, it was summer and hot in Romania, so that was a bit rougher.
Even though it was springtime, in Ontario, its still cold.
I started singing Let It Snow and it felt magical!
She kept saying, Honey, your dad would be so proud of you right now!
Also, Im such an animal lover, and we had live skunks on set.
My gosh, I didnt know a skunk was that cute.
Our skunks name was Stella, which is also my sisters name.
Its the cutest little thing and I wanted to take it home.
Who in their right mind does that?
I did a workshop reading of it and its phenomenal.
Lin is so talented and passionate about this project.
Its going to be great.
