I thought, 'If I'm going to die, I'm going to videotape it.' So I got out my little video recorder and was taping goodbyes to my family.

Coming from a barely clothed childhood as a swimmer makes me really comfortable with my body.

I love the work, I love being in front of the camera and working with actors and directors and creating something. For me, it's like learning everyday.

I really appreciate the sport background because the structure and the discipline that that gives a person is incredible, and it just carries with you wherever you go.

Canadians have this weird way about them where we really stick together.

You really don't do anything else in your life; it's a very little bubble that you grow up in. And you have to live in that bubble because of the intensity of the sport.

I wanted to build up a little nest egg and go back to L.A. and choose roles that I wanted to do instead of roles that I had to do to pay the bills.
