I get panic attacks in big crowds.
I find that the most interestingly written parts happen to be the bad guys.
I am very good with dialects, but the two that I can't do for some reason are the South African and Australian.
I am so used to being able to express myself from being an actor. So when people don't understand me, I'm just completely lost.
I actually loved Winnipeg. Everyone told me I was going to hate it, but it was great.
The skill set for hockey is so specific to skating and if you haven't been skating as a kid it's impossible to play - and I wasn't a skater.
Call me communist, but I think that's something that everyone, regardless of their family's income, has a right to, and I was fortunate enough to have a mother who felt that way as well.
A lot of times in Hollywood you're as good as your last job.
Don't hit people; don't let it get you too angry; remember that everything you do can and will be used against you. And take a breath and have some perspective.
I get very nervous around famous people and I get nervous around beautiful women.
Actors are as good as they allow themselves to be, and to portray life, you have to have as broad an experience of it as you possibly can, so everything's worth it.
I think it's really, really important to mix it up as an actor, to try to get as much kind of varied experience as you can, not only for your own personal growth as an actor but for the audience to keep them guessing about what you're going to do.
I don't think I've ever been a huge target for the press, and I value that to a degree, because there's a certain value for actors staying beneath the radar so they can play characters.
Hamlet is a remarkably easy role. Physically it's hard because it tends to be about three hours long and you're talking the whole time. But it's a simple role and it adapts itself very well, because the thing about Hamlet is, we all are Hamlet.
