If I only dated actresses, I'd be a very lonely man.

I hate people saying anything stupid. I don't really suffer fools very well at all. When people are acting like idiots, not that I'm not guilty of doing the odd idiotic thing myself from time to time, but when people say stupid things, it stresses me out.

I've had more of an opportunity to work with Katie Holmes, which is incredibly enjoyable. I think she is really one of the best actresses on the market right now. She forces you to bring your best stuff to the table, because if you don't, she just completely overpowers you.

I'm not really the type to wear my heart on my sleeve. I would let someone know if I liked them, but it takes a while for me to fall in love.

For me, the desire exists less to get myself a degree than to just go and have the whole college experience, and throw myself into the brain pool and see if I can swim.

That's the beauty of our show. If we don't have a new crazy thing, something's gone horribly wrong. There's the individual creepy, gooey stuff, but what we've done pretty well is make each one of the creepy gooey things adds up to a much bigger story. -- on "Fringe"

It seems this [parallel universe] idea is part of the zeitgeist right now. Maybe it's due to my west coast liberal upbringing, but, the idea of parallel universes doesn't strike me as being too far out there. After the 60s and its psychedelia and the doors of perception and what have you. What defies my imagination is that there would be nothing out there that would defy my imagination. Maybe it's because I'm a sci-fi fan. It's like the Carl Sagan thing, the candle in the dark - it only serves to illuminate how much we still don't know. -- on the idea of parallel universes.

Nobody criticizes the 'Mighty Ducks' trilogy and gets away with it. Nobody!

I love Vancouver. I can be with my family, I can reconnect with the guys. It will always be my home.

I was born in Vancouver, moved to Los Angeles and when my parents split up, gradually moved back up the west coast. I was able to pack a lot of experience into my 19 years. My parents getting divorced was obviously a very traumatic experience. And then after, it was just me, my sister and my mother, and we went at it alone. I went from being a very well-off little kid to having a couple rough years, to rebuilding, my mother did that. She and I are very close.

The anti-elitist values in America, I think, are very destructive to education.
