“I think if Marvel called me to do anything - if they called me to film the phone book - I would do it.”
“And often, once you've done it five or six times, a performer has to start dredging up emotions from a new place, which is harder to do.”
“It's funny, because, yes, there's a Marvel aesthetic, and yet no one ever said to me, 'we have to do a Marvel aesthetic.' So it was probably me more self-policing to make sure I was going to stay inside the box a little bit.”
“Obviously with any creative project you never know how it's going to land.”
“In the past, if you were too vocal, it was considered a negative. Now it's encouraged.”
“And you know, I've done a lot of research and I've been working on projects that embrace people who are tortured, or exploring what that is.”
“I typically come into any project knowing what the opening shot is and what the end shot is.”

“The world went tilted in a lovely way - suddenly, television was no longer television. It was like, 'Oh, my God, this is the new world!' I got to work with horses and cannons, and fight sequences and castles.”
“I think, as Canadians, that's just as important as our peacekeeping service: We go out and find these stories that other people are not willing to tell.”
“I took my Canadian perspective over to Ireland and dug around, and I found a very interesting story and brought it back.”
