I remember my brother Nash had just directed me in 'The Square,' and I was sitting in Australia going: 'No one's called me about working for ages. I don't know if I'm ever going to get another job.

I'm not going to allow myself to second-guess projects. I'm just going to do the ones that I fully love and believe in - that's a real privilege.

I'm hardly digging trenches for a living. I'm getting to tap into my boyhood fantasies of being a larger-than-life character.

I always kept myself fairly fit.

Every job leaves its residue, a bit of extra knowledge, a new skill-set.

The tricky thing becomes: Do you know yourself well enough to then portray that on screen? And for me, I find that really hard. I'd rather hide behind accents and funny walks.

I'm single, footloose and fancy free, I have no responsibilities, no anchors. Work, friendship and self-improvement, that's me.

I often times find with movies that the heavier the onscreen situation is, the more levity there is off screen. It's almost out of necessity.

Everything is a learning process: any time you fall over, it's just teaching you to stand up the next time.

It's tricky. I've never been standing at the top of the tree with tons of money thrown at me. I've never really had a profile. So in a way I have this 'nothing to lose' attitude.

One of the things I've always enjoyed is moving around and staying fit. Physicality is such a big part of being an actor, but it's also about stillness and silence.

Just that one word—sound—sent a strong answering pulse through her body. His tongue curled around syllables that weren’t there, like a promise. This is what you’ll get, if you just let me hear.

You are a reader, and therefore a thinker, an observer, a living soul who wants more out of this human experience.

Enjoy yourself. These are the "good old days" you're going to miss in the years ahead.

I'm so proud of how well Canada did at the Games here. It think we're going to do even better in 2010.

I always had a repulsive sort of need to be something more than human.

Taking photographs is not something that happens only in a moment I press the button. It is a full-time occupation. For me there is difference between leisure and work.

We can plant bugs in machines. Once you go on the network, I can identify your machine. You will never be safe whatever protections you put in place.

good call. A second drag and your next stop's the wastepaper basket - and not to toss your kleenex, true.

A novel seemed the easiest way to get what I had had in my head into the inside of other people's heads. Books are good that way.

The harder [role] the better. Definitely. When somebody turns around and says, "She can't do that," then that's the one I want to do.
