- I grew up in Vancouver, which is a pretty liberal, gay Mecca of the West coast. There's San Francisco, and then there's Vancouver.
- I always do whatever is best for the character.
- I want to make stuff. I want to make movies and direct stuff and produce stuff and write stuff.

- I want to go behind the scenes as well as on screen. I think you have to make your own destiny in this world.
