We're not allowed in the cutting room - and that's extraordinary. So, when a director is asking for certain nuances and colours and we feel that they're phoney, but we do it because the director asks for it, that's the one that they pick in the cutting room. And I contend that when you see a movie with bad acting, don't blame the actor... blame those guys in the cutting room because they like that take.

God knows I've done enough crap in my life to grow a few flowers.

The truth is, I've made about 30 movies in 30 years, and I've been criticized for 30 years for not making more movies.

In my room as a kid... I'd play a fighter and get knocked to the floor and come back to win.

You go to the cinema and you realize you're watching the third act. There is no first or second act. There is this massive film-making where you spend this incredible amount of money and play right to the demographic. You can tell how much money the film is going to make by how it does on the first weekend. The whole culture is in the crap house. It's not just true in the movies, it's also true in the theater.

Canada is like a nice family living over a biker bar . . . They keep telling the downstairs neighbors to keep down the noise, people are trying to sleep.

I love working, I'd be dead if I hadn't found myself as an actor I didn't have to be successful.
