Despite landing a Best Actress Oscar nomination this week, actress Ellen Page apparently remains grounded.

“I think you can lose your equilibrium,” she told Movie Maker magazine. “But I think that has a lot to do with how your personality chooses to handle it. I mean I have my own place in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and that’s where I like to spend my free time. I think being here where I’m from – which is a small city on the east coast of Canada – there’s just a different mentality here.”

In fact it seems the Juno actress reckons it’s best to stay out of the paparazzi spotlight of Los Angeles, and keep things low key.

“I think if I jumped ship and moved to LA, well sometimes you can easily get absorbed.

“I’m very grateful for the way things are going for me right now,” she adds. “I mean, really, it all feels very surreal.”
