I won the family lottery. I come from the best family in the world.

I try to keep my private life private.

I wanted to be a soccer player. And then I wanted to be a rabbi.

I am a ordinary teenager. I fall in love like everyone else.

I was very spiritual as a kid. I think I felt and thought about things a lot more deeply than most of the other kids my age. I wanted to help people.

I came from a huge extended family of musicians.

I played the drums, and I was in a band called Funkasaurus Rex in Toronto. When I left for school, it became hard to play as frequently.

I grew up reading comics. I was primarily an 'X-Men' fan, but I definitely dressed up as Spider-Man for Halloween when I was, like, 12 years old. Maybe younger than that.

I'm at the National Theatre School, which is like the Juilliard of Canada.

'Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow,' if you go through the lyrics, is such a haunting melody, and the words are, for a pop song, pretty deep and dark.

I am definitely someone who needs to take a second by myself and stretch and breathe before a show.

In order to create, equilibrium must be broken.

Many people will never read a Bible, but they will read you.

Leave the beaten track behind occasionally and dive into the woods. Every time you do you will be certain to find something you have never seen before.

The best thing to do is to get out in front of an audience as much as you can, and learn from the experience.

Listening to Evanescence makes me want to break up with a girl in real time as a giant antique hourglass falls to the floor in slow motion.

I think women can save civilization.

Before a man's forty, girls cost nothing. After that you have to pay money, or tell a story. Of the two, it's the story that hurts most. Anyway I'm not forty yet.

They will love me for that which destroys me.

It is really awkward to see myself on screen.

The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together.
