“When I was a boy, I was 15-16, I had a job during the school holidays as an extra. That's how I started. My first time on set was as an extra. I did it for two years. It was amazing!”

“Sometimes, I really miss living in Vancouver, getting picked up by my driver, Uncle Gary.”

“Writing a script is hard, I've discovered.”

“I grew up loving film and television. Film, in particular. I would never feel as inspired - it's sort of the same for music with me as well, but I never got the same kind of feeling with music as I did with watching film.”

“It was just normal for me growing up with a family member with severe Down Syndrome. It was completely normal. She was just Auntie Linda. I loved her and she loved me. She had a spirit that was just positive. For me it taught me tolerance and acceptance of all human beings.”

“When you're writing something that is truly original it takes time.”

“I taught myself to play guitar and sing. I ended up writing a lot of music and had a band and was playing in bars and pubs all around Sydney, going on tour. I played with some pretty big bands in Australia.”

“I really love Daniel Day-Lewis. I think he's the best.”

“Look, if Hallmark called me for anything, I'd be there. They were there for me for five years so of course, I love those guys, so anytime.”

“In my opinion we don't take care of our disabled people well enough. We don't take care of our elderly well enough. We should honor them more than we do.”

“I worked with Michael Goode back in 2009. We had done a short film together where I was the actor and he was the director. We got on well and I always remember that being the one of the first acting jobs I did.”

“I just think it would be super cheesy for this Navy SEAL to start singing.”

“You know how certain actors find their niches? Eventually, I'll be there as well. I just haven't found that yet. I'm just enjoying the ride.”

“My time with Hallmark was nothing but positive and I'm truly grateful to be a part of it.”

“As an actor, I want to expand myself. If there's something I read that I feel like I'm not going to learn from, I don't want to do it.”

“I can gallop, I can trot, I can move sideways and turn around. I can do everything I need to do on a horse.”

“You don't need a man to make you happy, let's just be clear about that. All right?”
