I'm living in L.A. but my heart's in Vancouver.

I felt that K wasn't getting a fair shake anyway.

There's one site where you can buy pictures of me for five bucks a pop.

I'm trying to do the kind of projects that I want to see in the theatre.

Certainly, when I walk into an audition, a lot of people already know who I am.

L.A. to me is not really an attractive place.

I really enjoy the people. I find them to be better educated and wittier.

My sister is a nurse and saves people's lives.

My goal is to be living back in Canada as soon as I can, hopefully somewhere in the Gulf Islands.

It's certainly more interesting for me as an actor, but I think it's also more interesting for the audience to see three-dimensional characters, rather than just a bad guy or a good guy. Show less «

I wanted more in depth ideas about the character and it never came.

Two shows at once is crazy, but I love it.

It changed my life in a lot of ways - before I got that role I was just going from job to job, not really having enough money to be able to do what I wanted to do. Show less «

I've spent so much time the last seven, eight years in Los Angeles, away from my family, away from my friends, away from the city that is my favorite place to be and I just want to come here and have a proper life. Show less «

And I've been lucky in that I haven't had another job besides acting in the last five years.

It's not that fun to just play a villain, without any reasoning behind it.

I would like to look back on my career and be proud of what I've done.

It makes you realize that people are the same wherever you go.

We both have a great loyalty to it, and I think that it's important to give it our best shot.

Everything has an end.

When I'm on my deathbed, I'll hopefully be able to count more friends than parts that I had.

We went to the British Museum, and I was looking up my family in the books - pages and pages on it.

I just wanted to act. I didn't want to do anything else.

It seems there's a sliding scale between the money they spend on a movie and its creativity.
