I need to see where I am physically and practicing with NHL players is the best way to find that out.

It always surprised me that I was getting acting work.

I don't think my acting was ever bad; I always knew that I could do it. But when you go to audition for a drama, they're very serious in the room, and I was used to being kind of goofy and having small talk.

I have to paint at least two times a week, and there's not enough time in the day to do everything.

I like America. I think it's pretty cool. I got into acting to avoid politics of any sort, and so I could remain in a fantasy world.

When you go to auditions, pretend you already have the job and you're just presenting - almost like you're at the table read. Don't go in with an air of, 'Please like me,' or, 'Please hire me.' You're like, 'Here's my take on it. Take it or leave it. I've got a lot of other things to do today.'
