Acting is such a weird job.
From Michael Cera
I'm not stereotypically Canadian. I don't really follow hockey. I don't feel like anything other than myself, basically.
I go on a lot of hikes. I read a lot. I play piano.
The thing is, I really can't relate to anyone my own age. Not in a superior way - an inferior way, if anything. Socially, I have no idea what my friends are talking about. I don't listen to any new music. I feel very secluded.
I may not have gone to high school every day, but I spent whole a lot of my adolescence feeling vulnerable and confused and alone... just like everybody else.
My father works for Xerox and fixes those gigantic copy machines that are about 10 feet wide.
My parents are both really, really funny, and my little sister is a really good painter, and my other sister is a really good writer.
I broke my nose and got a concussion when I was 13.
You try to pick good stories, and that's pretty much all the control you have as an actor.
Since I was 15 I've felt kinda like... an old man.
