I'm like Shrek. Shrek's a nice guy, but people keep alienating him, like they did with me in my younger life. I'm very loving and kind and generous - I'm a sweetheart!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think that the major message in 'Shrek: The Musical' is be who you want to be. I think that it is about being your true self in this world.
I don't like to watch myself on screen because in my mind there is a touch of George Clooney about me, but when I see it, there is more than a little Donkey from 'Shrek' about me.
In my stories, whenever there's somebody wonderful and charming and bright and intelligent, that's me!
Almost every day, people will say to me some version of, 'You're so much nicer in real life.' I guess I come across as not nice.
I had done Shrek as a Canadian and I'm very proud to be Canadian, but I knew I could give more to it.
I get cast a lot of times in movies with nice people for some reason - because I have a nice face or something.
People have all these preconceptions about me. Whereas if you look at the roles, Henry Hill was the nicest guy in 'Goodfellas!' I was a nice guy too in the comedy 'Heartbreakers.' And I was a really sweet father to Johnny Depp in 'Blow!'
I think I have character, and that is what people like in me.
Shrek is not like anything anybody has ever seen before.
I used to spend most of my time straining to be a nice guy so people would like me.
