I'm attracted to films that have strong female characters because there are strong female characters in my life.

For me, I sort of felt like it was kind of a fairytale... but an interesting one. I don't know of anybody who has had a romance quite like this, but I certainly know people who have stuck it out.

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

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

I’ve been lucky, so lucky, working with [...] Rachel (McAdams) on The Notebook. A big draw for me, when I do a film, is who am I going to be opposite, because there’s only so much I can do on my own.

If I eat a huge meal and I can get the girl to rub my belly, I think that's about as romantic as I can think of.
