Everyone fails. Everyone is constantly failing. It is all part of life, and especially this job of being an actor.

I grew up in Nova Scotia, so there werent a whole lot of rules.

Things are so busy and so quick, and there’s so much going on, you have to realise the time when you have to take a step back, take a breath and really think back to where you come from. I’m from a very, very rural place. There’s really nobody out there, just roads and farms. I had a long transition to get to where I am now. I moved away when I was young, when I was about 19. I’d literally come from an area with dirt roads and stuff like that, right to the centre of a city of about five million people. It’s been great. I’m based in New York and every day it's amazing.

I think it is always tough no matter where you are in your journey. Always staying focused and knowing why you are doing what you are doing.

I think it is important to know when to be hard on yourself and when to let things go, but always keep going.

It is hard not to be inspired when you're living in New York. It doesn't matter what you do. I think that there is so much going on in this city. I like walking around or taking the subway, thinking about all the history here, looking at the architecture and all the people; of course, the museums. It's tough to find a better place to live.
