I’m just this kid from Toronto who got his start.

Ewan McGregor and I had very similar first-time light sabre experiences. We both burned ourselves! These things are hot – they’re full of batteries!

One of the things I find about acting is that the less the audience knows about the actor, the more they’re able to believe in him in the role.

For me, when I’m making a movie I like to stay in character throughout the day.

I don’t find Hollywood interesting, so I’m thinking of studying architecture instead.

I love my mother Ali so much. I’m a momma’s boy. I just have a very cool mom. It’s not as though I had any say in the matter. I’m just really fortunate. She’s the most kind, loving, giving woman.

Actors are observers. They’re trying to have an understanding of human sensibility. And how do you have that accurate observation if you regard yourself as someone of great importance? When you’re the one constantly being observed, because they view you as a celebrity? It’s all wrong.

I’ve always been kind of a hermit.

I love acting because it’s a bit of an escape. It gives you the ability to reinvent yourself. They say that acting is the shy man’s revenge.

All I want is all what my mother wanted for me when she raised me - to be happy. For that, I don't need to be in a relationship. I don't need to have a certain level of respect. I just want to care very much about what I do and be kind to everyone in the process. It's important that I can feel that. That's happiness.
