My house is very clean apart from a very small part of it that looks as if we've been burgled, which is my office.

Savannah is amazing with the town squares and the hanging moss and the French Colonial houses. It's brutally romantic.

'Evil' is quite a blanket term. People aren't the demonic characters we would like them to be sometimes.

I think I’m quite a lazy person, actually. If I’m not careful, I could just stay in bed all day.

I'd really like to get on a Greyhound bus and go backpacking across America.

We have one life and we should cherish it and make it the best we can.

Nothing is my guiltiest pleasure. I love it. I love doing it. I love planning to do it, I love loafing and pottering and chilling and daydreaming.

I think when you don't know where you stand with someone, they can surprise you in their goodness and their badness, and that makes them human.

In all honesty, we all want our fantasy selves to be the best people. We all think in a time of crisis, we will react heroically and with humanity.

I always try to put myself in the way of surprise as much as possible. My ambition is to keep challenging myself. I like that journey of discovery.

When you are an actor, rejection and disappointment are an occupational hazard.

When I make art, I think about its ability to connect with others, to bring them into the process.

Yeah, but actually, I've got the same questions about God.

I thought it was amazing to work with authors, to get a manuscript and try to make up a cover for it.

No man would listen to you talk if he didn't know it was his turn next.

My father is Swedish and my mother is French.

Surgery is always second best. If you can so something else, it’s better. Surgery is limited. It is operating on someone who has no place else to go.

The work is the most fun; it seems illicit how much fun it is.

No word makes me happier than the word "daddy" when it's directed to me.

Learning to write sent me falling, falling through the surface of the South African way of life.

It seems like my whole life I've been this little Canadian kid dreaming somebody would give me a chance.
