Personal Quotes

My role in Waydowntown is a small, unflattering part. I appear pasty and puffy like a ripe cadaver. It's the kind of character that might be viewed as a brave departure from an actor who wasn't already considered pasty and puffy.

My character in Twitch City is a kind of caricature of a perception some people might have of me. It's a joke at my expense. It's the way I feel some days when I'm at home feeling pathetic and full of self-loathing and just sitting in front of the television set eating cereal.

It usually comes from some sort of alchemical combination of character and a vague sense of plot or an idea or a theme, such as Last Night, character-plus-the-end-of-the-world. That's what it tends to be. I have never started out with a plot. I've thought of ideas, places and themes and character.

[on filming 'Blindness'] When you're being led around with a blindfold on and taken into quarantine, you have to expose yourself in a certain way. You do everything you can to restore personal dignity, but that's not easy. You're constantly grasping at things that no longer make sense because they don't have the same context anymore.

I'm an uptight Canadian white guy. I have issues with personal space and dirt. And what was really surprising was how quickly that broke down once we started shooting 'Blindness' because we all had to learn how to be blind.
