I've always been interesting in characters that challenge people and who are not always that easy to like.

A lot of times you just go through life and forget to stop and say: "This is cool." Or: "I'm lucky, I love the people in my life and I love what I'm doing."

The reality is you have to do your work and maybe you don't know everything. Maybe I don't know what the hell I'm doing! But most of the time you can't even admit that, though.

I like the opportunity to play characters who have these dark sides but make the audience empathize with them. You want them to think there is some kind of sweeter, softer side to it.

I was pretty young when my father was prime minister, so it wasn't really a big part of my life. My folks were away a lot, meeting foreign dignitaries and that sort of thing, but it never struck me as odd. If anything it allowed me to get into all sorts of mischief.

You know, it's always fun to play the bad guy at the end of the day.

Some laws are wrong, and we have an obligation to speak out against those laws wherever they are.
