I never took acting classes, but I knew I could do it based on the skill with which I lied to my parents on a regular basis!

My father was a police officer before he retired. One of my brothers is also a police officer, and I think they kind of expected I would do something along those lines, like become a fireman or something.

Are you stalking me? Because that would be super.

I believe in energy like dark energies. I believe that when a family moves into a house where six murders took place, there's going to be some bad juju in that house. But then again what the hell is wrong with you to be moving in that house to begin with?

It was comical because you're at a firing range, all these people are so seriously shooting their little guns.

I remember being upset because I was finally legal to drink in Canada, and I decided to throw that all away and move to America, where I had to wait another two years. I came here to do improv and to try to join the Groundlings.

He has such a clear vision of exactly what he wanted out of each character, out of each set, out of each wardrobe change, out of each emotional beat, and action.

If you're going to commit to that, you're going to have to find some way to make it bearable and enjoyable.

I had to wear that suit, so I put in my required time in the gym. But I'm not one of those actors who romanticizes his trials working out and brags that he can bench press a panda now.

It's a nice visual. I had just done Blade and I put on more weight for Blade and I thought I might as well use it so I kept it and added a little more. I wanted him to be a big bear.

Four months after we finished shooting, I'd been in New Orleans shooting another movie and my agent and I were having a bite to eat - actually in London - and he's sitting there and goes, 'Wow, I just can't believe how ripped you are.'

When I meet thousands of fans of the comic - when I realize every one of them can recite the Lantern Corps oath ('In Brightest Day, in blackest night...') - I know how important this is to people.

I love doing six versions of any joke, so if they'll give me six takes, I'd love to do it.

We started training a month before the movie started and then by five months in, we were at our peak shape.

I remember that coming to America was scary for me because everything here is just bigger, better, shinier, you know?

I just love bikes. It's not the safest passion to have, but I guess it's better than Russian roulette.

When I exhale, I just turn right into Louie Anderson.

I come from a family of cops, and all of them share that understanding that they put their lives on the line. They share and deal with that sense of risk every day, so I got to see that up close.

We might be too proud to admit it as guys, but we still need to learn how to manage responsibility, how to face our challenges.

I never took acting classes, but I knew I could do it based on the skill with which I lied to my parents on a regular basis!

Acting has given me a way to channel my angst. I feel like an overweight, pimply faced kid a lot of the time - and finding a way to access that insecurity, and put it toward something creative is incredibly rewarding. I feel very lucky.

'Green Lantern' I screen-tested for twice. I fought for the role. And I'm glad I did, because I felt like I earned it.

A nicely fitted two-button suit is the best thing any guy can have. Guys are lucky: We can wear a suit over and over, just with different shirts and ties.

A producer is someone who actually calls the shots. An executive producer is just a guy that eats more food at craft service.

A well-tailored suit is important - and I don't like wearing belts with mine - it should be tailored to your body.

Any great director is also someone who is incredibly intelligent about whom they hire around them.

Any kind of crisis can be good. It wakes you up.

As a kid, I think I wanted to be the on-set dresser for 'Charlie's Angels'. My goals weren't lofty. No. I just wanted to someday quit my paper round and that was about it.

By the time I came to L.A. I'd already cried on movies of the week with two of the women from 'Knots Landing'.

Every time I've gotten myself into trouble, it's because I'm choosing a project based on a long-term career goal as opposed to something that speaks to me at the moment.

Fragrance is a very personal gift, and I think that's why it makes a great Christmas gift. There's a very distinct signature to it, so if you give it as a gift, I like to think that it's from a person that thinks very highly of you.

Guys are lucky: We can wear a suit over and over, just with different shirts and ties.

I come from a family of cops, and all of them share that understanding that they put their lives on the line.

I don't personally believe that villains exist. Villains are just a way of saying that somebody has an opposing conviction.

I don't think you can help but personalize a role. You almost play to none of the preconceived notions of it. It's more or less a personal experience and journey.

I feared disappointing my father more than anything in the world.

I find that I get a little depressed if I don't move my body each day, so sometimes it's just as simple as walking, and other times it's training for a marathon or some kind of personal goal that I'm trying to meet.

I grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia.

I have a discipline that has served me very well in my career and in my personal life... and that's gotten stronger as I've gotten older. I've always felt if I don't just have a natural knack for it, I will just out-discipline the competition if I have to - work harder than anybody else.

I have daddy issues. So I keep tissues on me at all times.

I just like to look beautiful sometimes.

I like doing the mainstream, right-down-the-pike broad comedies as much as I like doing the kind of unorthodox different stuff.

I love Canada. It makes a nice hat for America. When America runs out of water, it's the first place I'll go.

I played rugby for years, and I had a rugby jacket that I lost when I was 14. Somehow, my brother found it in storage 15 years later, and he gave it back to me for my 30th birthday. That was amazing and probably one of the best gifts I've ever received.

I read the 'Deadpool' series back in the '90s. I'm not, like, a huge comic book reader, per say, though. I'll check out 'Archie' when I'm in the grocery line, but that's about it.

I run in a pair of New Balances with a thinner sole, but they're nothing like those barefoot shoes that show all five toes. I have a bit of a phobia about those.

I see guys with, like, eyebrow art, and I wanna tell them, 'You don't have to go too crazy on your brows. Take it easy, man!'

I think a fragrance is more of a signature than even what you wear - something you'll remember more down the road than a shirt.

I think every relationship is going to go through a few rough patches. Those are what make it stronger, I think.
