I'm Attracted To Films That

I'm Canadian. I Think That's It. When You're A Canadian, You're Always Watching America From The Outside, From Afar.

The Thing That's So Exciting When You're Making A Film Is That It Can Be Anything And There Are No Limitations On It.

There Is This Idea In Hollywood, And I've Seen It Work For People, Where The Unspoken Rule Is 'do Two For Them And One For Yourself.' And That's Kind Of Considered A Fact. I've Never Really Found That To Be True For Me. I've Gotten More Opportunities Out Of Working On Things I Believed In Than I Ever Did On Things That Weren't Special To Me.

I Like Working With Actresses, And I Like Women A Lot, Not For Obvious Reasons, But Just In That That Theres So Much About What They Bring To The Scene That Keeps It So Interesting. Their Instincts Are So Different, And They Never Explain Them To You.

I Grew Up In A Family Of Strong Women And I Owe Any Capacity I Have To Understand Women To My Mother And Big Sister. They Taught Me To Respect Women In A Way Where I've Always Felt A Strong Emotional Connection To Women, Which Has Also Helped Me In The Way I Approach My Work As An Actor.
