I've never been really great at trusting anybody, just because of the way I grew up.

Personally, I love Toronto.

As an actor, you really want to resonate with your audience. I played a character on Oz and people still approach me in the streets today.

I've played different nationalities, and everything from vulnerable to strong to crooked to demented. It just increases your possibilities of work because, if people know you can do just about anything, then you're going to get more offers. That's what I want to do.

Certainly, I look for different characters 'cause I always like to keep people guessing, and I also don't like to get typecast.

And then, with a European director and Norwegian actors speaking in Norwegian, it was going to be very interesting. So, whatever initial trepidation or fear I may have had was alleviated by those factors. I just said, "This is something to get on board with."

The only way you can influence your fate is to put your soul into your performance and hope it registers with the audience.

I was always led to believe you should take care of yourself, trust in your abilities and you're the author of your own destiny.

What I like about the Carpenter take on The Thing is the fact that it just has so much suspense. It seemed like a different story, with the horror elements. Those films that really speak to the primal fear that we, as human beings, have about the unknown have always intrigued me. That's the really scary thing, not the slasher, macabre movies.
