A Quote by Jacqueline MacInnes Wood
I was lucky to book a show pretty quickly after getting to L.A., but I struggled getting started in Vancouver. If I had gotten those earlier roles in Vancouver, I wouldn't have gone to L.A. to get the show that launched my career.

It's not unknown that Vancouver is a huge destination for television and film. It has been for many years. It just seems to be that I'm drawn to the show that shoots in Vancouver.
I'm from Vancouver and friends of mine will shoot something up in Vancouver and they'll be like, 'Ugh.' They've never been to Vancouver and they're like, 'They got me stuck in Vancouver for three months.' I'm like, 'No, you're being set free. It's one of the most livable cities in the entire world.'
I can't emphasize more to you that I had the luxury, the privilege of living up here in Vancouver. I feel like I'm on vacation, and I get to work, as well.

I really am feeling lucky on the days off that I have, that I'm here on vacation in Vancouver, British Columbia.
I'm so proud of this show and I'm really stoked that fans were so enthusiastic about the show so quickly. I mean, I got recognized for 'Arrow' at the airport when I was headed to Vancouver to shoot the second episode. That was kind of crazy.

We have a show very early on called 'Slap Bang' on a Saturday night and it didn't work. It started off peak time and started getting earlier and earlier in the schedule. I think that that taught us you have to adapt.

I think when I first started acting there were different people who I thought, 'I want that person's career or that person's career.'
