I'm very thankful to directors and filmmakers who consider me in their films, and I hope I'm able to do justice to their films.

I like cinema audiences. I respect them, and I talk to them just like I would anybody I know.

My cinema is an extension of myself. A sort of life-testimony of my vital experience, with my few virtues and my numerous limitations.

Audiences don't ever disappoint me, in the sense that movies I feel really good about, they usually feel really good about too.

I live in a constant state of gratitude, thankfulness, and appreciation for the second chance I was given, so anytime in any film, when that is given to someone, I always appreciate it.

I try to work on a film that my audiences would appreciate and enjoy their time in a theatre.

I don't think it's the job of filmmakers to give anybody answers. I do think, though, that a good film makes you ask questions of yourself as you leave the theatre.

I actually think I have an audience member's sensibility about going to the movies.

I'm very blessed and fortunate that people want to go see my movies.

I feel that the industry can be sliced into two categories - grateful actors and non-grateful actors. I'm always so appreciative that this has happened for me - and against all odds - as a middle child from Canada. I'm very grateful.
