unchangeable
The script is a bible and it's this unchangeable document that somebody spent years and years on.
grew kid roles tie
I grew up a happy kid in Toronto. I've never suffered. I've never even had a real job! But I understand sadness and striving, and those two things tie into all the roles that I've played.
order people work-out
You only live once. Trying to do the right thing for other people often doesnt work out, and you have to follow your own path in order to make things work out best for everyone.
new-york cities interesting
And I loved seeing that because they're great interesting cities in of themselves so I'm looking forward to actually being able to use it as itself instead of being a bad New York.
crazy book video
I didn't know the comic at all, which is really funny because I grew up here and I had friends who worked at all of the places. Like The Beguiling, which is a store here, and Suspect Video and one of my friends actually worked at Suspect and The Beguiling. So it's kind of crazy that I'd never known the books before.
hands feelings actors
One of my favorite things in watching an actor is feeling, The story is safe in your hands. I can lean back and trust you with this.
new-york growing-up acting
The biggest thing about growing up in Canada is you know that Los Angeles and New York are not the only places in the world. They're not the only places where brilliant acting happens.
wife historical baggage
There's a lot more historical baggage to deal with as a wife than as a partner.
drama comedy blocked
The best thing about serial drama - especially about screwball comedy - is blocked love.
mind secret acting
Secrets are great for acting. Secrets are the best thing in the world for acting, because they keep you looking like you have something in the back of your mind.
reading mind novel
To keep an active mind, I find that reading novels is really good.
drama bridges community
One of the great things about this cast is that we've been able to take actors of relatively the same age group that would never usually meet. You know, like bridging the comedy/drama world that for some reason casting directors never really want to bridge or you get into one community and that's kind of it.
rehearsal stuff matching
I would say my favorite was just the beginning of the movie like doing all the rehearsal stuff. It's been amazing to see the rest of it happen but it happens so piecemeal. And Edgar sort of has the whole movie edited in his head already, so we're just sort of matching to what he has.
crazy mean light
I mean I feel like we've shot all these different movies. Like the first 2 weeks of shooting was all Steve Stills apartment and band rehearsal, you know? And so it was like this tiny little group of people and small set comparatively and it just looked like a Toronto apartment. And then we sort of kept ramping up further and further until now we're here in this giant like craziest set I've ever seen with LCD crazy lights that go....you know?
