For every big American movie I've done where I was the supporting guy, I've gone back home to Canada to do supporting movies where I was the lead.

I have a maple leaf tattoo over my heart, quite literally, and my two favorite things on Earth are being in Canada and making movies.

The hockey I was raised on, the hockey I understand, the hockey that my dad taught me about when I was a boy was intrinsically connected with fighting. I grew up in a house where we revered tough guys.

I'm a massive movie nerd. That being said, I could retire tomorrow because I wrote this movie 'Goon' and it came out, and it connected and it's a wonderful flick that I think is beautiful and then it had this wonderful life and it means a lot to a lot of people.

It's a big problem for American movies that all their movies are produced to be global.

When you're doing a big movie, you're gone for 10 months to a year.
