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.

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

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

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.

I have done things politically, and I've been running a business at the same time, but I sort of joke that to some extent I do more than most legislators have done in their whole careers, and I've been doing it as a part-time job.

I believe that if a man does a job as well as a woman, he should be paid as much.

Don't let ambition get so far ahead that it loses sight of the job at hand.

You really should not do this job unless you're willing to put in that enormous amount of effort. You should not do the job unless you're willing to take risks. And you shouldn't do the job unless you're willing to lose the job, too.

In 1975 I decided that there was no future in flying (airline jobs were impossible to get, and who wants a job where you are judged only by seniority?) and headed off to grad school.

If we wait for the U.S. to do something, we will be waiting for a very long time. It's Europe, it's Australia, it's the other developed and middle developing countries that have got to do the job.

Even if I don't have a job, I work on plays and scenes.

In the middle of a recession no tax increase is justified because it kills jobs, and any tax increase is a job-killing measure and should be defeated.

It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.

Well, I think that those of us in public life that are trying to do a good job, and that are faced with this popular new game that the media has of being critical of everything that anybody in public office does probably are thin-skinned.

People may take a job for more money, but they often leave it for more recognition.
