The thought of attention made me want to hide in a closet. I wasn't a kid who liked attention. I liked solitude and I still kind of do.

Modeling's terrifying to a lot of people. Standing in front of a camera is terrifying. I like a challenge.

And of course there is nothing better than wearing the same T-shirt for days and not brushing my hair for weeks.

I hope somewhere along the way, I've inspired someone to do something. ... And I hope they say that I was nice and polite.

Of course, there are days when you're not feeling your best and you still have to stand up there and it can be difficult. But those days pass and you move on.

I've gone through a lot of different phases on what I do and why I do it - morally and ethically. I've tortured myself about it, especially in dealing with success and money.

If I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it as best I can. I'm going to give it everything.

The fact that my parents got over to Canada is kind of amazing in and of itself. Had they not immigrated when I was a child, I probably would have never been doing what I'm doing. So, thanks, Canada!

I just had to learn to look at it as a job, as opposed to identifying myself as a model and thinking of myself as a part of this industry.

I grew up in a sailing family. My dad lived for sailing, and when we moved to Canada when I was a child, he really wanted us to learn.

Sometimes I am still surprised that I'm a model and that people think I'm good-looking.

With emotions ranging from fear, grief and anger to happiness and relief, the process of bringing home a child who needs in-home care can be complicated

The sudden appearance of pain and pressure are not indicative of an injury, but of the presence of suppressed emotions.

Kill yourself in training so you don't die fighting.

Forget narrative, backstory, characterisation, exposition, all of that. Just make the audience want to know what happens next.

A man who has a language consequently possesses the world expressed and implied by that language.

Steve McManaman once described Zinedine Zidane as ridiculous. You can't get a higher compliment than that.

When you rest in the weakness of your heart, your being moves and your self becomes quieted.

Life is an effort that deserves a better cause.

I don't enjoy sitting with make-up all the time and that is why I have decided to go for the natural look. Not only me, I think given a choice, everybody would prefer such a look on screen.

We learn to fight and to grow strong by fighting.
