No one has a resume that they are 100% comfortable with, nor does anyone have a life that they are 100% comfortable with.

You grow up skinny in Canada; in working-class Montreal, you're definitely the underdog.

When I started acting, my mom said, "If you want to go to film school and eventually direct, being on set is probably the best film school in the world." I'm incredibly grateful for the career I've had, but I was an actor to be a part of movies and TV, not the other way around.

Before World War II in Canada, you were nobody until you went to England. Then, after that it was you're nobody until you went to the States.

Long before I ever started acting, believe it or not, I always knew I wanted to be a director.

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.
