I have a pretty easy life.

I'm very 'spur of the moment'. I'm always trying to think of fun things to do to create a memory.

I don't like to act in my personal life. I like to be straightforward.

I should be getting photographs of me with my arm around these people like restaurant owners do, because eventually I am going to have to prove to my kids that once I was an actor!

You don't stay the hottest guy forever unless you're, um, Dionysus.

Be honest with yourself and lie to everyone else.

My friends and I make short films. We pretended to rob the Dairy Queen where our friend worked, but someone thought we were real thieves and called the cops! Soon, the cops burst in with guns drawn!

I admire when people take the harder path, not because they are masochistic and want to beat themselves up, but because you actually kind of learn more and I think you grow more.

It's not scary to make a horror film because you get to pull back the curtain and see that none of it's real. When you're watching one, the terror bombards you.

When I turned 18, I skipped my party to take my girlfriend on a road trip. It turned out to be an amazing birthday.

Ever since Poltergeist terrified me when I was 12, I can't watch horror films, I'm a real wuss.

There is no defense against adverse fortune which is so effectual as an habitual sense of humor.

Is there a word more passionate than passion? Obsession, total immersion, the feeling that everything else doesn't matter.

When religious leaders get involved in elections, it is usually with a reactionary social agenda.

I won't read a book that starts with a description of the weather. I don't read books over 300 pages, though I'll make an exception for Don Delillo.

I love Toronto's long autumns, warm with windy swirls of golden spores, redolent with giant, sun-roasted leaves flapping up and down the streets, and horrible winter always seeming far, far off!

I go out with actresses because I'm not apt to marry one.

What I am interested in doing is finding and expressing a new form of life

The beginning of faith is the beginning of fruitfulness; but the beginning of unbelief, however glittering, is empty.

Maturity begins on the day we accept responsibility for our own actions.

Every sensitive person carries in himself old cities enclosed by ancient walls
