For every big American movie I've done where I was the supporting guy, I've gone back home to Canada to do supporting movies where I was the lead.

I just adore being on set. I adore storytelling. I can be on a set 70 hours a week and on those weekends, I'll still want to watch movies.

I have a maple leaf tattoo over my heart, quite literally, and my two favorite things on Earth are being in Canada and making movies.

I guess I always have sort of general ideas, but the best stuff would be the stuff that comes to you in the moment, always.

You always want to try and evolve an art form. It's not a very humble ambition; it reeks of arrogance. If you can, you want to try to do something that people haven't done before and give people something that they haven't seen.
