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 think you can discriminate against budgets, you know? I'm an actor, I guess, so I'm just trying to play as many characters as I can. If there's a character I think I can play, and they're going to let me do it, I'll do it whether it's $10 or $1 million or more.
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.
All my characters are me. I'm not a good enough actor to become a character. I hear about actors who become the role and I think 'I wonder what that feels like.' Because for me, they're all me.
I'm waiting to get old - I think old guys with tattoos look good.
I just sort of take it from a character perspective, and I don't know if he was necessarily spiritual, but I do think he had hope. He was a character that was comfortable having hope in his life, and hope is faith.
I don't think anyone can teach you how to be a man but a woman. You only learn by learning what they need.
I think we're very complicated and we're capable of all kinds of things, and movies don't reflect that.
I think we just knew that we had a movie when Rachel walked in the room.
I think that you can sort of have your own personal journey and you know, you can just kind of apply that to whatever characters you're playing.
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 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.
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.
[mannerism is when] you think you have all these great ideas, and none of them are good at the end of the day. But while you are pursuing those other things subconsciously happen.
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.
Im glad I have an outlet. I dont think I would put my aggression elsewhere, but working on the projects I have worked on, you tend to benefit personally from trying to wrap your head around the way other people look at the world.
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.
Acting isn't that hard, really. I mean, I think that people make a big deal about it, but you just kind of try to say your lines naturally.
I think it's more interesting to see people who don't feel appropriately. I relate to that, because sometimes I don't feel anything at all for things I'm supposed to, and other times I feel too much. It's not always like it is in the movies.
I think about death a lot, like I think we all do. I don't think of suicide as an option, but as fun. It's an interesting idea that you can control how you go. It's this thing that's looming, and you can control it.
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.
I love being Canadian. I think growing up in Canada gives you a world perspective that I certainly enjoy.
