Once you’re comfortable by yourself you learn to be more at ease with others.
I think ‘Game of Thrones’ was extraordinary. I want to do some period pieces. It would be lovely to tell great stories, that is my main ambition. And to be working with amazing creators.
People ask ‘How do you get so eh-ish?’ I don’t know if it’s just because so much of my family still lives in Canada and I finished studies up there.
The crew and cast at Castle becomes more of a reality than the people I’ve known all my life.
Don’t wait until it’s too late to say I love you.
I try to get away. Its very unusual for me to be in one spot for so many months, which is one of the things Ive had to get used to for a television show. I enjoy going on adventures and seeing the planet.
I will direct one day. I need some more life experience before I feel like I can do something like that comfortably. It’d be a feature, it’d be something maybe that I had in writing as well.
In talking with people that have experienced it, I learned that PTSD is something that a person in a position of authority sometimes thinks they’re not supposed to have. They don’t always have an avenue to personally address it or even discuss it.
My parents were European immigrants. They came to the States with $1,500, two suitcases, and me, and they managed to build a business, a family, and a future for their family. They didn’t have any of the resources of people who have lived here for two or three generations.
I read ‘Scarlett’ recently, and that was a killer comic book. The ‘Black Widow’ was pretty rockin’. There is a big list of killer chicks that are just rockin’.
Maybe I’m naively romantic, but I do believe that spice and excitement doesn’t stop once a couple gets together.
As an actor, I feel like youre asked to live life as vibrantly as possible.
I was named for my grandmother. It’s an evil-eye name, to protect you from bad things.
I have to believe in the character to perform it.
Um, I think every role, whether in TV or film, has a part in building a career and relationships.
I have a lot of brothers. It’s easy for me to do physical stuff. I had to survive. I really love it, and I’d love to do more of it. I want to do action films. I want to go and hang off of wires, and jump off of bridges, and hang on bungee cords. I’ve always really loved it.
I like the concept that if you’re with someone, it’s for the long term.
I just enjoy working with really wonderful actors and amazing creative people and I hope to keep doing that, no matter where.
Men should never marry their muse. It ruins the illusion.
I love accents; I would love to find more characters with a variety of vocal intonations. It creates a character. It’s like you’re singing a song. Some people find their character through walking or movement – for me, voice is one of the ways I find parts of the character.
