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

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

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

Everything has an end.

That's sort of what I like about this character is that he's not the good guy, he's not truly the bad guy.

Comedy and drama are both challenging to me.

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

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

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

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

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

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

My heritage is English, so I'm proud to be back here.

You can be in an acting class all you want, but you don't fully learn until you get off that stage and in front of a camera.

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

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

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

Supporting characters add depth to a story, and great actors leave their imprint with the audience.

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

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

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

At Christmas, 'It's a Wonderful Life' makes me cry in exactly the same places every time, even though I know it's coming.

So, I completely and utterly support David and Gillian's decision to go to Los Angeles, but I think that Vancouver is the perfect location for the show.

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

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.

I think somebody who speaks the language is going to notice immediately that I'm not Russian.

When you're doing a series like this, you're constantly looking for new ways to excite your audience.

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

I think everyone has some fascination with what's outside our existence. It's a constant journey to find the truth.

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 favourite place to be and I just want to come here and have a proper life.

I don't care what TV show you work on, even a movie for that matter, it's all about time and money eventually.

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

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

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.

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

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

In this watering-place I acted an heroic character, badly studied; and being a novice on such a stage, I forgot my part before a pair of lovely blue eyes.

I do like to embed a fictional character firmly in an occupation.

But even with a character like Cary who is relatively outlandish, at the end of the movie he's in a place where I wouldn't have expected him to be - taking on the responsibility of a woman who is pregnant and who used to be his best friend's wife.

Always, your work is the same: You have to tell a story, you have to make a character. It doesn't matter if there are thousands of dollars, millions behind it, or if there is nothing.

Each of us is meant to have a character all our own, to be what no other can exactly be, and do what no other can exactly do.

I liked Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer, and that is the kind of character that I would like to have played. That would have been more in tune with who I really was.

It's the difficulty we had with Mr. Bean, actually, when it went from TV to film. You certainly discover that you need to explain more about a character.

In a lot of ways, the make-up was the character.

The more we study the Indian's character the more we appreciate the marked distinction between the civilized being and the real savage.

So many people have said that to me, that what they really like about Alex is what she brings out in Marissa, and what this situation brings out in her, a hint of happiness and another side to her character.

I've been on the show for six years and I don't even know what her history is. I sort of make things up in my mind, but I think it's hard for an audience to follow and invest in a character when they don't have the details.
