I believe in energy like dark energies. I believe that when a family moves into a house where six murders took place, there`s going to be some bad juju in that house. But then again what the hell is wrong with you to be moving in that house to begin with?

It`s a nice visual. I had just done Blade and I put on more weight for Blade and I thought I might as well use it so I kept it and added a little more. I wanted him to be a big bear.

If you`re going to commit to that, you`re going to have to find some way to make it bearable and enjoyable.

Are you stalking me? Because that would be super.

He has such a clear vision of exactly what he wanted out of each character, out of each set, out of each wardrobe change, out of each emotional beat, and action.

This is a huge budget movie so it was amazing to see just how he knew what he wanted. I mean, that`s all you can ever ask for from a director.

We started training a month before the movie started and then by five months in, we were at our peak shape.

It was comical because you`re at a firing range, all these people are so seriously shooting their little guns.

(2007) I used to backpack when I was younger. I think I can actually say that I can`t do the hostel thing anymore - I`m a little too spoiled.

(On if he gets recognized while traveling) I get noticed depending on where I am. I have no problem wandering all around Spain. But the Germans - ah, the Germans - they are like, `Oh! Van Wilder`s a party animal!`

I did two trips in 2006. I did one through New Zealand on a motorcycle, and I tried to cross Australia on a motorcycle from one end of the continent to the other. My friend and I did not make it, unfortunately - he crashed, and we had to find a hospital.

(On getting into acting) I started when I was 13 years old. I did a really horrible soap opera called Fifteen for Nickelodeon that stoned college kids kept on the air for three years. And then the first movie I did was in Sri Lanka when I was 14. I spent three months there. I was there without my parents working on a movie in a country that was in the midst of a civil war. It was pretty wild.

I`m not a hockey fan, which is probably why I had to leave Canada in the first place.

I never took acting classes, but I knew I could do it based on the skill with which I lied to my parents on a regular basis!

On his relationship with Alanis Morissette: "Our relationship couldn`t be better. There`s no truth to the rumours we`d temporarily broken up".

Acting has given me a way to channel my angst. I feel like an overweight, pimply faced kid a lot of the time - and finding a way to access that insecurity, and put it toward something creative is incredibly rewarding. I feel very lucky.

"On that note, that being said, it was damn hard kissing her. You`ve never experienced anything until you`ve had a mature, darting tongue in your mouth." (On kissing the older woman in Van Wilder (2002))
