I try to play characters who are different from myself, so I feel like this character is someone who is really different. I actually think that if I did what he did in this movie, I would get a restraining order put against me.

I grew up in a family of strong women and I owe any capacity I have to understand women to my mother and big sister. They taught me to respect women in a way where I've always felt a strong emotional connection to women, which has also helped me in the way I approach my work as an actor.

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

I grew up Mormon. I wasn't really Mormon, my parents were.

As a kid I decided that a Canadian accent doesn't sound tough. I thought guys should sound like Marlon Brando. So now I have a phony accent that I can't shake, so it's not phony anymore.

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.

I know there are only so many characters I'll be able to play.
