I don't even think of myself as particularly good looking, and not at all a typical kind of Hollywood leading man sort of actor.

A lot of people when they make movies, the actors act like it's their journey and that everyone is on the set to facilitate their journey and the whole thing is set up that way - they ask if you want anything.

In some way, the relationship between a director and an actor is personal.

I think it's more interesting to see people who don't feel appropriately. I relate to that, because sometimes I don't feel anything at all for things I'm supposed to, and other times I feel too much. It's not always like it is in the movies.

I love being Canadian. I think growing up in Canada gives you a world perspective that I certainly enjoy.

Parents' tolerance of violence is so different to their tolerance of sexuality. If violence is involved in the sexuality it's somehow perceived as entertainment, but if love is involved with sexuality it's seen as pornographic and is not acceptable.

I'm Canadian. I think that's it. When you're a Canadian, you're always watching America from the outside, from afar.
