I did this scene in 'Lars and the Real Girl' where I was in a room full of old ladies who were knitting, and it was an all-day scene, so they showed me how. It was one of the most relaxing days of my life.
I turned 30 and everyone told me I would feel different and I didn't. So I thought I'd move to New York.
I started reading all these men's magazines, trying to follow all the tips: what you're supposed to wear, what you're supposed to have, things you're supposed to say, and all the exercises you're supposed to do.
I've been doing this since I was 12... I don't want to act much longer; I can't do one thing my whole life.
I went through puberty in a theme park. I'm grateful. That place was a landscape to me. I had adventures every day.
Sometimes I think that the one thing I love most about being an adult is the right to buy candy whenever and wherever I want.
I love being Canadian. I think growing up in Canada gives you a world perspective that I certainly enjoy.
I've learned it's important not to limit yourself. You can do whatever you really love to do, no matter what it is.
There's a lot of pressure to be the lead of a film. I have done it. It's not my favorite way to work.
I felt like I was going crazy as a kid. I wanted to be man, get a job.
There used to be a candy called 'Bonkers,' which I believe to be the greatest candy of all time.
I'm glad I have an outlet. I don't think I would put my aggression elsewhere, but working on the projects I have worked on, you tend to benefit personally from trying to wrap your head around the way other people look at the world.
I have a friend that is a WWII buff, and we sat and talked a lot about stuff like the war and the reasons behind it, and you now it's all in the uniform. Once you're in it, it usually does all the work for you.
I always wanted to do a comedy, but I wanted to pick the right one. But it came down to working with Steve Carell. I've wanted to work with him since I met him years ago as a kid.
