“There's nothing worse - I don't like listening to actors talk about the process, especially when - I mean, for me I've played a lot of guys, dudes, boys in a sense and this was a challenge for me just to play that official character.”

“I'd rather not make films than make bad ones.”

“If you don't live a normal life, how do you relate to people?”

“Actors, I find, are generally happy to be working.”

“I don't think I would be getting any of these movies without that show, and that's a strong show, a great fan base and it's helped me out a lot. It took me out of Canada and brought me down to the states and gave me my career basically.”

“I'd like to do the young cadet thing again for sure, but that's why I wanted to do this, to see if I could do it. I took the scenes out of the script and put them together and read them as one little arc, story and that seemed to work.”

“And when I have lived elsewhere, every two weeks I have to fly back to LA. Even New York directors go there to audition. So I have to be there to a degree.”

“I enjoy played flawed men who are pushed to the limit, who make mistakes and then have to recover.”

“I can walk down the street all day and people look at me, but they don't talk to me or stop me.”

“I love Andre Braugher, and I'm a big fan of Shawn Ryan.”

“I can't swim at the level I used to. I had to retire because of an injury to my shoulder.”

“I think Canada, our industry is still somewhat based in America's industry.”

“Probably the most difficult things were my favorite parts. The make-up and the big fight sequence at the end of the movie were very difficult but really fun and challenging.”

“I don't think a swimmer on film works unless you're Australian, because for them, swimmers are like their football players, their basketball players; they're huge stars.”

“It's an interesting time that way. It's hard to meet good girls down here. It seems like they're all after something and interested in their own lives.”

“I get a little uptight if things aren't going the way I think they should be going.”

“'O.J.: Made in America' was one of the best things I've seen in a long time.”

“Well, when I did Underworld 2, I was in Vancouver for five months and I was reminiscent to be back up there.”

“I bought a house in LA, hanging out there and spending a lot of time in Toronto, but not much.”

“It gets easier as you get older, settling down. That wild streak is gone.”
