I would love to go off and do a movie with Judd Apatow or do another 'Mean Girls,' but to me, it's whatever the story is.

To be an actor wasn't something that seemed realistic. I started late; I was about 19.

I'd like to get back home to Nova Scotia more, but thankfully, with technology you can call and text and FaceTime. But physically being in Toronto or Nova Scotia... there's nothing like it.

For years, I did whatever I could just to pay the bills and gain experience and work with as many different people as I could.

A lot of people are attracted to the acting profession because they think it's a cheap, easy, free ride. It really isn't.

I'm so happy with 'The Blacklist.' Give me more people to shoot and throw them off buildings.

Luckily, I had that experience on 'Homeland,' to work with these unreal people who are unbelievably talented, great actors.

I grew up working on farms. You'd do anything for money. You'd pick blueberries in the summertime for weeks; you'd cut down, like, spruce and fir trees for pulp.

I got two older brothers and two younger sisters, and we grew up in the country, and we were a little feral. So as long as the car didn't end up in the rhubarb and you didn't get caught for doing whatever you were doing, you were fine.

You put on the military outfit, and it definitely tightens everything up and makes you stand up straighter.

I grew up playing hockey and baseball, so I wish I had time to get back into it, but living in L.A. and North Carolina, you have to take advantage of the golf.

There's two sides to the sword. It's like, for as many people that love you, there's all the people out there who hate you.

You have to get the casting right. You have to get the people behind it. Your director might not be the right director for the project. And then, it has to test and those people in that room, wherever they are, have to turn those buttons the right way at the right time.

Cardio is boring for me, so running outside helps to keep me going.

You're always just trying to create opportunities and be ready when those opportunities present themselves. I can't look at anybody and think 'I want to be Damian Lewis' - I'd be setting myself up for failure.

I'm from a very, very rural place. There's really nobody out there, just roads and farms.

In Canada, the only weapons you have are for hunting.

I grew up in Nova Scotia, so there weren't a whole lot of rules.

I'm going for that Mark Wahlberg look. Strong and confident.

Charlotte is a very interesting place - I'm Canadian, but I've lived in Toronto, Vancouver, and I've been living here in L.A. for years.
