I often talk with other actors about that time when you've just finished a job because I think you do take on the characteristics of some of the characters you play.

I have never been jealous. Not even when my dad finished fifth grade a year before I did.

I'm getting a lot of stick because my character in 'Young Dracula' wanted to be vampire so now that I am a vampire everyone's like 'You finally did it!' But it's cool and I loved doing 'Young Dracula.' That show's finished and I don't know why it ended so it was brilliant to go into 'Being Human ' which is like the adult version of it.

Since change is constant you wonder if people crave death because it's the only way they can get anything really finished.

I've just finished reading a book about the brilliant Margaret Rutherford. She wasn't a beauty but inside she was absolutely blazing and passionate about her work. She's one of those life-affirming characters.

But when the work was finished the Craftsman kept wishing that there were someone to ponder the plan of so great a work to love its beauty and to wonder at its vastness.

The beauty of having a producer is that you have someone who says You're finished.

When I am working on a problem I never think about beauty but when I have finished if the solution is not beautiful I know it is wrong.

Religion is essentially the art and the theory of the remaking of man. Man is not a finished creation.

After I finished high school I went to Hong Kong and Thailand and spent some time there. Just to get that whole experience of being out of the bubble that I was in from high school in Vancouver to be able to travel around and be on your own was an amazing experience.

At that time I had recently finished a book called Amazing Grace which many people tell me is a very painful book to read. Well if it was painful to read it was also painful to write. I had pains in my chest for two years while I was writing that book.

Old age is far more than white hair wrinkles the feeling that it is too late and the game finished that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body but the indifference of the soul.
