Sometimes I think that the one thing I love most about being an adult is the right to buy candy whenever and wherever I want.

If you're making a movie about the effects of time, you kind of have to engage time as the main character.

I think everybody should act! I would encourage everybody to do one thing, join a theater class or something. It's so good to take a character that you think is wildly different from who you are, and to try to relate to that person and become that person is very helpful. It's hard to articulate what you learn, but you can feel the effect of these characters that you play and take with you.

It was more important to me to understand what its like to be this Jewish kid who felt he was so different at such a young age. I feel the story is about a kid who came to hate through love, so I felt I had to learn why he loved this thing so much that he also apparently hated it.

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

I think we just knew that we had a movie when Rachel walked in the room.

I turned 30 and everyone told me I would feel different and I didn't. So I thought I'd move to New York.
