You've got to just go do what you do - you can't really worry about who was attached to the movie before.

I can walk down the street all day and people look at me, but they don't talk to me or stop me.

Duets is about six people, so it's like three different movies - three different duets. I was on the set 18 days, spread out over three and a half or four weeks.

I don't think I would be getting any of these movies without that show, and that's a strong show, a great fan base and it's helped me out a lot. It took me out of Canada and brought me down to the states and gave me my career basically.

It's an interesting time that way. It's hard to meet good girls down here. It seems like they're all after something and interested in their own lives.

I didn't really know what I wanted to do, and then I got this call from a casting director in Los Angeles. She remembered me from something years before, and she called my mom wanting me to audition for this thing.

There's such good writing now on television and I don't see a lot of great writing on films sadly.

I mean, I love California, but LA to me is still a strange place.

I bought a house in LA, hanging out there and spending a lot of time in Toronto, but not much.

And sex is definitely part of college life.

Well, when I did Underworld 2, I was in Vancouver for five months and I was reminiscent to be back up there.

I'd rather not make films than make bad ones.

I just would like to spend more time in New York City.

I can't swim at the level I used to. I had to retire because of an injury to my shoulder.

I think Canada, our industry is still somewhat based in America's industry.

I don't see the point in signing on to do something and then leaving.

I'd like to do the young cadet thing again for sure, but that's why I wanted to do this, to see if I could do it. I took the scenes out of the script and put them together and read them as one little arc, story and that seemed to work.

I remember listening to Cube's music when I was like 14 years old, my friends listening to it up in Toronto.

Probably the most difficult things were my favorite parts. The make-up and the big fight sequence at the end of the movie were very difficult but really fun and challenging.

If you don't live a normal life, how do you relate to people?

And when I have lived elsewhere, every two weeks I have to fly back to LA. Even New York directors go there to audition. So I have to be there to a degree.

There's nothing worse - I don't like listening to actors talk about the process, especially when - I mean, for me I've played a lot of guys, dudes, boys in a sense and this was a challenge for me just to play that official character.

I have flown with British Airways since I was a very little child, so it feels quite special to have gone from family holidays flying around Europe to become a gold card holder and be spoiled enough to travel more than not in first class.

In The States I would have no edge, no advantage at all.

Honesty is a good thing, but it is not profitable to its possessor unless it is kept under control.

I can see, and that is why I can be happy, in what you call the dark, but which to me is golden. I can see a God-made world, not a manmade world.

I want to see if the player communicates with his teammates and how he responds to coaching. Another thing to remember is players' bodies can develop better than their skills.

There's no reason that we need to be counting things and adding things up in order to sit down and eat a meal. I enjoy eating so much; I don't want to do match every time I eat. I guarantee you, maybe your diet soda has no calories, but it's still poison. We have to think about what are we putting in our mouths.

People think of the inventor as a screwball, but no one ever asks the inventor what he thinks of other people.

I read true crime books, and I read when people do case studies of stuff. I'm into books like that. Case studies or forensics or murder - all that good stuff.

I'm not a prude. On the set, they called me 'Butt Naked.'

She was short on intellect, but long on shape.

When Philip Glass asked me if I would be interested in doing a new recording of Jesus' Blood he assumed that I would do something similar to the first version and wanted to know what other pieces would be on the same CD.

I'd go on the train to castings, changing from my school uniform on the train. I carried on like that for a few years, getting jobs in bits and pieces.

I've always had my ear pierced with a diamond stud. I did it myself when I was 16.

Nobody stands above the law.

Nothing in life is to be feared; it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more so that we may fear less.

The funny thing in France is that writers are not allowed to retire, because the French government say you are still earning money from books you wrote 20 years ago.

Twitter isn't a social network, it's an information network.

I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.

The pigeon here is a beautiful bird, of a delicate bronze colour, tinged with pink about the neck, and the wings marked with green and purple.

Impatience is racing at misery full speed.

I wanted to play the part that Mary Kay played, the lawyer who wanted to have baby and felt her clock ticking, because it was something I could relate to.

I hope the story of 2011 is that America gets its mojo back. You've got to remember that America has the best universities; it's got some of the best businesses. It's got an unbelievable work ethic, rule of law. The story of 2011 will be America blossoming again.
