When I was in art college, I would be painting, and I would create something on a canvas that was actually quite attractive. But if I got frightened and tried to protect that, that canvas...

We both have a great loyalty to it, and I think that it’s important to give it our best shot.

My two boys were the same ages as the kids in the show. In real life or in between the breaks I was raising two kids off camera who were not unlike the two kids...

I think that one of benefits of being on a critically acclaimed show is that people have an understanding that maybe you can act.

I had my first play produced when I was 14; it was my way of competing in the neighborhood I grew up in, a sort of tough neighborhood.

My goal is to be living back in Canada as soon as I can, hopefully somewhere in the Gulf Islands.

And I’ve been lucky in that I haven’t had another job besides acting in the last five years.

When I’m on my deathbed, I’ll hopefully be able to count more friends than parts that I had.

On a selfish basis, I really enjoy sports and activity.

I wanted more in depth ideas about the character and it never came.

I mean, I’ve been in a hundred and fifty films; I don’t want to just sit around and talk about things.

My heritage is English, so I’m proud to be back here.

My first one was called How Men Have Babies which is the pregnant father’s survival guide and this will be about the first time your kid does things.

At Christmas, It’s a Wonderful Life makes me cry in exactly the same places every time, even though I know it’s coming.

When you’re doing a series like this, you’re constantly looking for new ways to excite your audience.

So there was a constant flow and a thin line there between reality and television and yes, much of what I was experiencing in my real life was also what was going on in the...

I would like to look back on my career and be proud of what I’ve done.

I took acting lessons when I was 19, 20, and I had my writing.

My sister is a nurse and saves people’s lives.

About 100 things that your kid will do that will surprise you and break your heart and it will be a combination of fact based therapy, medically advised kinds of passages accompanied by celebrity anecdotes...

Certainly, when I walk into an audition, a lot of people already know who I am.

You can be in an acting class all you want, but you don’t fully learn until you get off that stage and in front of a camera.

So we had psychiatrists and counselors and therapists around the set regularly, especially for those scenes in which Jason would be dealing with a patient to make sure we were doing it all appropriately.

I’m living in L.A. but my heart’s in Vancouver.

I want to make smart television.

So, I completely and utterly support David and Gillian’s decision to go to Los Angeles, but I think that Vancouver is the perfect location for the show.

And introduce an element of cynicism and darkness into it and just realize that we’re all vulnerable. We are humans. There is a finite end to this life and we’re all going to face it...

Comedy and drama are both challenging to me.

I’d take telekinesis. I could move things with my mind, and with telepathy I could control other people’s minds and make them do whatever I wanted.

As a father, my first priority is to help my sons set and attain personal goals so they will develop self-confidence and individual strength. Engaging in regular fitness activities with my children helps me fulfill...

I’m trying to do the kind of projects that I want to see in the theatre.

I’m a director’s actor; I’m a storyteller’s actor.

Supporting characters add depth to a story, and great actors leave their imprint with the audience.

Family members can help support each other to make significant improvements in their exercise and eating habits. It begins with basic awareness.

I don’t care what TV show you work on, even a movie for that matter, it’s all about time and money eventually.

Obviously I think Vancouver definitely enjoyed our time there, a lot of money was brought into the city, and it was just exciting.

Family involvement is a valuable thing and playing together actively can be the ’90s version of it. Instead of just watching, you can do it together… something we don’t spend enough time on. We can...

It changed my life in a lot of ways – before I got that role I was just going from job to job, not really having enough money to be able to do what I...

I’m not a big fan of television; I’ve had a hard time over the years because I think the quality of the writing sort of starts to deteriorate.

That’s sort of what I like about this character is that he’s not the good guy, he’s not truly the bad guy.

I wouldn’t call myself a standup in the presence of Jerry Seinfeld or Chris Rock, but I do my share of it and it has been and remains part of my activity and I like...

I felt that K wasn’t getting a fair shake anyway.

Right now I’m looking for the next thing, I’m taking my time finding something that really fits for me, I want to try something different from X-Men.

Fitness needs to be perceived as fun and games or we subconsciously avoid it.

It makes you realise that people are the same wherever you go.

If anything, I want to bring television back up to where it will entertain and engage a gamer.

The programme’s evolving constantly, and it may well go back into more psychological horror – these things tend to go in cycles in long-running shows.

I’m a big proponent of having a mental health component go along with whatever the physical realities are.

I just wanted to act. I didn’t want to do anything else.

That’s why Ged is perfect for an actor because he’s the hero, but not a classic hero in the sense that he does good all the time.
