“I've always felt more comfortable in the company of women, and as far as girlfriends go, they've each been a learning experience. You meet someone at a certain point in your life, then break apart, but you always share that time.”

“'Dawson's Creek' was my college experience.”

“What I like about 'Lay the Favourite' is that it shows gambling as a profession, as this real grind-it-out job, with no glamour about it at all.”

“I think Uma Thurman is one of God's creatures, one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen.”

“When you're working on a television series, you only get a very short off-season. The scheduling of TV is relentless.”

“With 'Dawson's Creek,' I wasn't a fan of '90210,' and that wasn't particularly my genre of show. 'Fringe,' on the other hand, is right up my alley.”

“When you behave well towards somebody regardless of what you're receiving, you feel better about yourself. So be decent to people.”

“I have lots of hard-earned knowledge about women through heartbreak - and social faux pas. When I was about 15, thinking I was engaging in light conversation, I asked a woman when she was due. Of course, she wasn't pregnant. I learnt the lesson never to ask again.”

“TV, particularly network television, gives you a much greater opportunity to tell a long-form story, to develop a character and keep it detailed. Film, by its nature, is more finite.”

“I've had more of an opportunity to work with Katie Holmes, which is incredibly enjoyable. I think she is really one of the best actresses on the market right now. She forces you to bring your best stuff to the table, because if you don't, she just completely overpowers you.”

“For me, the desire exists less to get myself a degree than to just go and have the whole college experience, and throw myself into the brain pool and see if I can swim.”

“The fan base and the passion of the fan base is a large part of the story of the show 'Fringe.'”

“There's a romance and power to live theater.”

“I'm a Vancouver boy, and I grew up outdoors, so any time I can be outside, everything is good.”

“I was briefly in the original version of 'Tombstone,' but I didn't make the final cut because that movie went through a couple of different permutations.”

“Nobody criticizes the 'Mighty Ducks' trilogy and gets away with it. Nobody!”

“If I only dated actresses, I'd be a very lonely man.”

“For me, as an audience member, I'm always most engaged by serialized storytelling, so as an actor, the thing that I take away from it is how much fun it is to perform a serialized story.”

“I hate people saying anything stupid. I don't really suffer fools very well at all. When people are acting like idiots, not that I'm not guilty of doing the odd idiotic thing myself from time to time, but when people say stupid things, it stresses me out.”

“The hardest thing to walk away from, over a long-form TV show, is the comradery of the company, both with the crew and the group of actors.”
