For my first acting job I played the role of Ensign Pulver in 'Mr. Roberts' at the Manitoba Theatre Centre.

My mother - the Irish side of the family - was very musical. My mother was a singer; there was music around the house all the time.

I didn't have to do paper routes. I'd sing for 5 bucks a crack at weddings and church functions; I'd have four or five on some Saturdays.

I grew up in Winnipeg, in the Canadian midwest, the fifth child. It was a great household to grow up in - I was loved to sweet death.

It's a joy to work where I live, and come home and sleep in my own bed.

I pursued a theatre career, and Hollywood came calling.

I was a boy soprano. I had a natural kind of voice and then trained it after my voice changed.

I was an actor for over a year before I ever saw a play.

My mother was a singer, and both of her sisters were singers. There was always music around.

Anything the Austrians could do, the Prussians could do better.

Tremendously meaningful outreach begins with how you choose to see the world.

I wouldn't want to be around anyone that would want me around.

I despise the opinion of the press and the so-called critics.

Who can sleep on the night that God became man?

There is only one prayer and that is prayer for light, for purity, for perfection.

I think a lot of the inspirations for me are very instinctual and subconscious. I don't over intellectualize stuff much. It's a very instinctual thing.

That's what I think we're all looking for - an honest love wherever you can find it.

By the time you establish your priorities, there really isn't any fun or need to interest yourself in what you're doing. And this I find disastrous.
