The fact is, 'Billy Elliot' is an incredible show, for any age and any gender. 'Degrassi' fans would absolutely fall in love with 'Billy Elliot.'

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.

When you’re gone and people remember you, what will they say about you? That you were happy, generous and kind? That you loved big? Or that you were the drunken singer in a rock band?

God's heart…is not that we escape our lot, but that we learn to thrive in the midst of it.

Nowadays people don't know how to handle it if all the ends aren't tied up and they're not told what to think in films. And if they're challenged, they think it's something wrong with the film.

The most important issue of the 21st century will be the condition of the global environment.

Average people look forward to "getting off." Successful people look forward to "getting on."

If I can, I shall keep my death from saying anything that my life has not already said.

His whole aspect was that of a man who has unexpectedly been struck by lightning.

If this whole acting thing doesn't work out, I'll just get a talk show.

There is no better way to serve others than to pray for them. There is nothing about which I do not pray. I go over all my life in the presence of God. All my problems are solved there.

For sight is woman-like and shuns the old.
