I'm a chronic ad-libber. So whoever hires me, often to their chagrin, should know that I will be talking a bunch of smack.

You grow up skinny in Canada; in working-class Montreal, you're definitely the underdog.

Rigidity is the enemy of acting. And I think that people who stay up all night focusing on every beat they're going to do the next day always end up getting screwed.

What I do for a living and how I unwind are one and the same; it's a rare special thing.

Montreal is a great town. There's equal parts blue-collar town.

I'd say that the No. 1 attribute you need as an actor is to be malleable. You need to be able to change and tailor what you're doing to what the situation dictates.

For every big American movie I've done where I was the supporting guy, I've gone back home to Canada to do supporting movies where I was the lead.

I am a proud Montrealer. Jobs will take me where they take me, but nothing will ever be able to convince me to leave my home.

In the best-case scenario, the audience sees themselves in your shoes. The only way you can do that is if you try to play it as if it was happening to you.

Long before I ever started acting, believe it or not, I always knew I wanted to be a director.

My vanity and narcissism will never let me go too far.

Love awakens the soul.

Attract everyone! Smile like a flower.

If you want to know someone's story, they have to tell it aloud. But every time, the telling is a little but different. It's new, even to me.

Be the green grass above me, with showers and dewdrops wet; and if thou wilt, remember, and if thou wilt, forget.

People become depressed when they neglect their spiritual practice.

I intend to be, the richest man in the world.

I start thinking about the next movie before it's a success, so I can never have one moment of happiness or peace. I'm instantly thinking about the next one.

We all want to be the sexy girl.

Far too much reorganization goes on all the time. Organizitis is like a spastic colon.

Anyone who goes on 'The X Factor' to make big money will be in for a big shock.
