The role Robertson holds closest to her heart is that of Evelyn Dick, in the TV movie, Torso: The Evelyn Dick Story. In it, she plays a woman from Hamilton (yes, her hometown) who is sentenced to hang after authorities find her husband's-you guessed it-torso in an escarpment in 1946.

"I'm really into antiques. But really into it because of my father, who got me into them in the first place. He's an interior designer and he's really into going to antique shows and getting up really early on Sundays and driving out to these weird little towns north of Hamilton. I am also really into religious artifacts."

"I collect beautiful old crucifixes, and my very favourite thing in the world is this thing my parents bought me for my 16th birthday from a famous Canadian who had auctioned off all this stuff from his estate when he died. It's this bust of Jesus and he had it in his home and it's really old-from the 1800's or something."

"I started to take dancing for awhile, but really thought I wanted to be an actor. And eventually, after a National Film Board thing, I did a couple of movies. Then for awhile, I was in my teenage years and didn't want to be looked at. Eventually, I got back into it when I did a movie at 16 with John Hurt called Memory. That got me back into acting, and I still love it."

"I'm working on something right now that's both my my dream role and my dream project. I optioned a book, and the author and I are writing a screenplay... I want to direct this and also star in it. The book is called Body of a Girl by Leah Stewart."

"I don't want to be more famous than what I have right now. At least in that sense where people come up to me in the grocery store."
