cereal excellent surreal
But I did 'Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.' They made a cereal out of it, so once you've had a cereal, it doesn't get much more surreal than that. Surreal cereal.
attract element
If it doesn't have that element to it, it doesn't really attract me.
agree passing people whether
It's easy to become very self-critical when you're an actor. Then you get critiqued by the critics. Whether you agree with them or not, people are passing judgment on you.
My name can't be that tough to pronounce!
canadian-actor dumb happen help people smart
I'm a meathead. I can't help it, man. You've got smart people and you've got dumb people. I just happen to be dumb.
canadian-actor enjoyed experience
I mean, if you didn't get it or if you didn't feel like you enjoyed it, sometimes that experience can change.
important directors roles
I like meeting directors. It can be helpful because sometimes when you meet filmmakers you find out if you like them and if they like you, and that is important in terms of considering a role. Choosing a role is all about whether I relate to the role and the story really. That's the criteria.

stories christianity amen
Hallelujah! Amen! Christianity is so inherent in western story-telling, you can't really get around it. But it wasn't something that drew me to it more or less.
creating joy acting
The acting experience and the collaborating and creating the world, working on the piece, they're the same joys.
hate people pet
So many people have that relationship. The companionship. The connection. To our - to other beings, our pets. I hate to call them pets. But you know, to other creatures that we share our lives with.
sight kind bliss
I hope I get the bliss. And I know I'm going to have to work for it. But I've got to say, really, I have no kind of, can I say "secular religiosity"? ... I don't have a denominational sight.
