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

And once you cease to be a real person, you stop being a good actor.

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.

Perhaps at a later point important developments will be traced back to September 11. But for now we do not know which of the many scenarios will actually hold in the future.

Walt Disney was not a merchant of sadness.

Fake friends are like shadows always near you at your brightest moments but nowhere to be seen at your darkest hour True friends are like stars you dont always see them but they are always there.

Certainly I had my preference, and I very much hoped that George W. Bush would be our next president.

Remarkable is the greater openness of the Catholic Church towards people of other religious traditions and persuasions. The development has not been without problems, since some people have resisted it and others have pushed openness beyond the desirable point.

It's a fairly recent thing but I've become very fond of making drinks myself.

In my view, while the single neuron is the basic anatomical and information processing-signaling unit of the brain, it is not capable of generating behaviors and, ultimately, thinking. Instead, the true functional unit of the central nervous system is a population of neurons, or neural ensembles or cell assemblies.

Maybe I don't take myself quite as seriously as I used to, but the work has gotten better and more interesting, and I'm just having more fun. It's getting more and more fun with each role.

I love you more than life itself.

When it's time to make music, that's about getting lost for me. To be a control freak is not half as good as being a freak who's casually in control. You're feeling around in the dark for something that feels good.

Specific closed cultures like that surrounding comic books have allowed voices to be heard that might not have been audible in a world in which all cultural texts speak the same common language.

To understand the truth of everything,it took guts more than simply thinking.

Remorse, the fatal egg that pleasure laid.

Conceit is an insuperable obstacle to all progress.

I try to eat a lot of baked foods, fish, chicken, potatoes, stuff like that. Grab me a Muscle Milk. That helps.

We are quite open, however, to looking at acquisitions and there are opportunities that we periodically consider. and I think that may be something we do in the future, but I must say that there is no commitment to that at the present time in any form or size.

Through transparency we expose corruption, but then there is no action taken against the corrupt.

Thread count is actually a lie. Just because a thread count is 1,500 on a set of sheets doesn't mean that they're well-made sheets. Truly, the quality of the cotton and the quality of the way something is woven is much more important than thread count.

It looks different when you're sober; I thought I had twice as much furniture.

I take issue with those who criticize 'The Biggest Loser' for pushing contestants too hard. The whole point is to push them hard. Otherwise, there's no change.

Human beings place their desires ahead of the collective good.

Folks are always talking about 40 acres and a mule, but what we need is some psychoanalysis. Forget 40 acres in a mule: sign all of us up for some shrinks so we can get ourselves right by reflecting and truly learning ourselves.

I don't feel comfortable doing interviews. My profession is music, and writing songs. That's what I do. I like to do it, but I hate to talk about it.

We never used to blink at taking a leadership role in the world. And we understood leadership often required something other than drones and bombs. We accepted global leadership not just for humanitarian reasons, but also because it was in our own best interest. We knew we couldn't isolate ourselves from trouble. There was no place to hide.
