That's why you and I had friction? God, I always thought it was 'cause, 'cause I fooled around with your daughter freshman year.

I learned early on to abandon all those preconceived notions you have about other actors and it's served me really well. I usually just try to empty my mind of that. I love meeting actors and I love working with actors.

'Green Lantern' I screen-tested for twice. I fought for the role. And I'm glad I did, because I felt like I earned it.

I remember being upset because I was finally legal to drink in Canada, and I decided to throw that all away and move to America, where I had to wait another two years. I came here to do improv and to try to join the Groundlings.

Martin Campbell is a director who has that ability to marshal so many forces together and create a film.

My very worst day on 'Green Lantern' was nowhere near as difficult as my finest day on 'Buried.'

I don't think you can help but personalize a role. You almost play to none of the preconceived notions of it. It's more or less a personal experience and journey.
