In hockey, there are no second chances, but the great thing about acting is that there actually are. If you do a scene and you think you can do better - take two!

In acting, quite a lot of the time you're not the first choice. Usually, you're second or third. And it can turn out to be the best thing that ever happened. You get used to that.

I love acting, and it was really important to me to give it a real shot.
I got a chance to act, and I have to say that acting is extremely fun and vital.
I really wasn't even sure if I should continue acting. I would like try and figure out if I could be good enough to do it. It was like 10 or 12 years into my career before I felt like maybe I can do it. It was such a different time than now.
