The boys have been running Washington for a long-ass time. We're talking 200-some-odd years.

It's not just politicians who underestimate us; we underestimate ourselves.

The biggest thing about growing up in Canada is you know that Los Angeles and New York are not the only places in the world. They're not the only places where brilliant acting happens.

I find that a lot of my best character stuff and ideas come unwittingly from novels. In scripts, it's a lot about the outward signs of whatever's happening - you have the end result. Whereas in a novel you get a buildup of the whys and wherefores, and you're let into the backstory.

Nobody wants anything bad to happen; the other side isn't evil.

Sitting out of politics isn't really an option if you don't want things to slide.

We need to organize and figure out our own voice as a bloc and stop doubting ourselves.
