Just as it's unfair to review a taco stand for not being a four-star restaurant, I also have to be mindful that not every drama on TV is trying to be "The Wire."

While I don't like violent programs per se, I do like good storytelling, which made me a fan of shows like Breaking Bad and American Horror Story.

It seems to me conspiracy is at the heart of dozens of TV dramas currently on. Maybe that itself is some kind of conspiracy.

Never forget that I am paid for my troubles!

Jarecki's 'Reagan' is a compellingly watchable and appropriately conflicted portrait...artfully nuanced and intellectually curious.

"Big Bang Theory" focuses on main characters who in other shows would only be auxiliary players hewing to stereotype: The gawky nerd who lives next door and says oddball things.

I think the occasional appearance of the UFO is a very oblique pop-cultural reference that anyone who was alive and sentient in the late 1970s will get right away.

I have to confess I can't have the holiday season without "Hard Candy Christmas". For some reason, it makes me think of the sticky ribbon candy bowl my mid-western grandma always had.

In fact, when it comes to TV, I'm not even sure what my real, true preferences are.

My work is very much like the restaurant critic's - a number of factors come together to make for a strong review.

In the end, all critics should be guided by this one principle: Is this piece of work [TV show, movie, play, concert, album, restaurant] succeeding at what it set out to do?

You lift your head, you’re on your way, but really just to be walking, to be out of doors. That’s it, that’s all, and you’re there. Outdoors is our element: the exact sensation of living there.

My greatest pleasure is to travel down an unfamiliar road.

Real vision dies only when life dies. Once we live, we hope, we yearn for and we aspire to have something!

Live every second, Here and now . Don't let go, Before it's to late

I'm not as shy as everybody makes me out to be.

I eventually want to come back to Canada, to disappear, have nobody know me, and just be a writer and do what I want to do.

Indecision is fatal. It is better to make a wrong decision than build up a habit of indecision. If you're wallowing in indecision, you certainty can't act - and action is the basis of success

However steep or ramshackle they may be, don't ever despise the stairs which take you up to higher levels!

As an actor, you're putting yourself out there when you perform. You're bound to experience feelings of vulnerability because of this.

I know every film is different. Every filmmaker is different and works differently.
