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 don't like to be entertaining. I don't like the feeling of being entertaining. If there was a musical or a comedy that was not just for entertainment but was rooted in something I could relate to on a real level, then I think I would do it.

If I have any particular appeal to women, maybe it's because I listen more than other guys do and appreciate how they think and feel about things.

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

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

I just have my own taste, and I just try and stick with that. I'm just trying to play as many characters as I can for as long as I have an opportunity to.

If the character is true, the movie will fall into place. Or at least that's what you hope.
