online
I don't spend a lot of time online.
years opera soap
When you work on a soap opera, that's three years of you working every day. There was no time to do anything other than the soap opera - you're locked in.
actors bigs props
I'm not a big prop actor.
jobs teaching thinking
I'm fortunate enough that every job I do seems to be, at the very least, teaching me something fantastic. I make new friends. I work with talented people. And each project and experience seems to be better than the last. I seem to be topping myself all the time. I think to myself: "It can't get better, it can't get better..." And then something happens that makes me feel like I'm truly richer for the experience.
thinking choices finding-happiness
I think about my own daily choices every day in terms of how to find happiness.
successful careers lucky
I am one of the lucky few who is successful in their career, and I'm really enjoying myself.
jobs actors littles
I slowly came to realize that this job of being an actor, you spend most of your time looking for work. That is your job. Your job is auditioning. You spend very little of your time actually working.
character thinking roles
What draws me to roles, I think, are moments - moments that define character, where so much more of the story is told in just a moment - a look, a line, a short scene, but something that speaks a volume, something that speaks to me.
laughing tvs punching
When I watch TV I can tell when someone is punching the joke and telling me when to laugh. I'll decide when to laugh, thank you very much.
jobs trying littles
My job changes very little because I've found that the more you try to be funny, the less funny you become.
drama secret comedy
The secret to comedy is not playing the comedy, but actually playing the situation, playing the drama of it.
nice people good-times
People keep inviting me back. It's nice to work with the same people when you've had a good time previously, and this is one of those cases.
hero thinking people
I think people imagine that I have about five scripts sitting in front of me and I say, 'I think I'm going to go with the super hero thing and after that I'll wrap it up with some more sci-fi and then do a romantic comedy.' But it doesn't quite work out that way.
hero thinking littles
I think maybe, if I could be a Canadian super hero, I'd have some kind of freezing power and some sort of maple syrup weapon. Could be a little sticky.
