My ambition has always been to work with English and American actors and directors. Those were the movies that I was watching when I was growing up.

It's okay for a guy to be a baddie, but a woman? No, we can't deal with that.

I had more friends on my hockey team than I did on my soccer team. I might have been better at soccer, to be honest. But I think it was more the friendship, and my family was more of a hockey family than a soccer family, so when I had to make a decision, I tried hockey, and it turned out to be a good decision.
