I've been wanting to do a play for years.
Most of the 16-year-olds I know are snotty brats that I wish I didn't know.
When you're 12, a 12-year-old girl is so out of your league, because they have no interest in you. You're like 10 years younger. You're 2 to them.
There are a lot of slutty girls in Canada. Eleven-year-old sluts.
Arrested Development never felt safe. Even the first season, we did thirteen episodes, and we thought we'd never do a back nine. So I never thought in a million years we'd get to make three seasons. I was happy we got that far. I thought it was really good, and I'm really proud of it. I don't think we made a bad episode.
The thing is, I really can't relate to anyone my own age. Not in a superior way - an inferior way, if anything. Socially, I have no idea what my friends are talking about. I don't listen to any new music. I feel very secluded.

I'm not stereotypically Canadian. I don't really follow hockey. I don't feel like anything other than myself, basically.
My father works for Xerox and fixes those gigantic copy machines that are about 10 feet wide.
My parents are both really, really funny, and my little sister is a really good painter, and my other sister is a really good writer.
I just want to be really careful with decisions I make. When you make a decision about your career, it changes your life in a really big way.
I turned down the lead role in Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, because that idiot Oliver Stone didn't think the character should play the alto sax.
Every choice you make as an actor ends up being really influential on your life, because you're spending a lot of time working on this project, and you want to make sure you're making good choices and you're not making them for the wrong reasons. I just want to be careful and not jump into anything.
There's very little money and very little freedom in doing it [webshows] for a major corporation. Doing things independantly is and always will be better I think, due to the recalcitrance of stubborn network hands.
