A lot of love stories, when they come to the end, they end. We kind of pick up the storyline, and I figure that's what makes it interesting.
I wanted to play a character that had clarity and knew what they wanted; I felt the distilled difference between myself and the character.
Oh don't tell me I suck because I will quit.
The Notebook ... You have to pay to see that.
I've learned it's important not to limit yourself. You can do whatever you really love to do, no matter what it is.
I love being Canadian. I think growing up in Canada gives you a world perspective that I certainly enjoy.
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.
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 went through puberty in a theme park. I'm grateful. That place was a landscape to me. I had adventures every day.
I sometimes forget to have breakfast in the morning, but when I actually buy a box of cereal, I will probably eat it not only for breakfast but also as a snack later on.
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.
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.
I'm waiting to get old - I think old guys with tattoos look good.
Hollywood usually doesn't have strong woman in films like that, and it's stupid, so for the most part they're usually being directed and written by men.
