In a hospital, there's not anyone who's generally trying to do you harm. You're generally given a backstory about what happened to them, but not about their life, so you get to work on saving their life. But you know whose lives you're saving overseas, in the Army, to a certain degree. You know whether's it your guy or a bad guy, and it's generally not anybody in between.
Distance makes the heart grow fonder, a little bit, but there's a certain maturity level that just comes with experience and growing up.
I've always been looking ahead, which is a good thing, but getting married slows you down and kids slow you down, a little bit. You look ahead, but you've gotta learn to enjoy what you have.
As an actor, it's exhausting being someone else. It's not physically demanding, but it's mentally demanding, if you do the job the way you should.
I've never been overseas. I can only imagine what that's like.
I'm not a big fan of rehearsing.
Youll never see a good performance out of me, in terms of a character, when the camera isnt rolling.
Just because you have teenagers in a movie doesn't make it a teen movie.
I love hockey, and I don't love it for any other reason than when I get out there and play, I enjoy it.
I never liked group work in school.
I'm really shy with my acting when it's off, because the camera gives me an excuse to be in character, whereas otherwise I would just feel like an idiot.
When you get pure joy out of 'being' rather than 'doing' or 'seeing,' that's when you realize how big and unexplainable some things are and being a dad is one of those very few things.
I like Math because there's only one right answer.
The best roles have risks... and those are the parts I'm interested in.
