Quote
1
[picturing a guided tour of his old high school] Let's see. That's the hallway where I was beat up, and the other hallway where I was beat up. We could also go to the field where I used to train and was beat up as well.
2
You never get over that, you know. You always carry it around with you. I go to meetings with television and movie people and, even though they treat me quite nicely, I still feel like this weirdo kid from Alberta.
3
My life has always been more about my ideas than about doing them in front of people although I do like to perform, but I'm really kind of a reluctant performer.
