I'm a bit of a geek, and I really like 'Buffy.'
One time, I was literally stopped on the street, literally and physically whipped around by this guy who looked at my face and was like, 'Are you Felix?' I looked very different then. I was like, 'Yah... Oh, yah!' I was stunned and slightly frightened.
I'm a unique person, as everyone is, but none of us has more of a right to existence or a right to specialness or uniqueness than anyone else.
As I got into middle school, I was really an outcast. But everybody was an outcast in middle school. I don't know who got the idea to put all kids going through puberty together in a school and give them academic elitism and competition and pit them against each other.
Television is blue-collar work. You clock in in the morning; you work 12, 13 hours - sometimes 18 hours if you're doing 'Orphan Black.'
The artistic side of a person is never narcissist; it's always empathic. It's always kind and compassionate.
I do a bit of work on my bum, but, like, I don't have a Dylan Bruce bum.
From an acting standpoint, you've got to continue to trust your gut because, ultimately, only that will result in a better product, making the audience more happy and resulting in the right payoff.
I realized there's a difference between creating a character and sustaining a character. The challenge that comes with sustaining a character is that you have this sudden impulse to think about all the things the audience liked.
There's a reason why VOD is so popular. You don't have to wait. There's instant gratification.
I don't win anything in life, you know what I mean? I was, like, the awkward kid who didn't go to prom, but I did - nobody noticed, though.
I think that the worst thing as an actor is to fall into a monotony with characters.
I'm interested in telling a story about a gay man and what he's going through as an artist and as a lonely, single gay man. I want to reveal what I know about loneliness.
For 'Orphan Black,' all I got was the pilot script, and that was enough for me. I was daydreaming about this part. I kept thinking about how certain scenes were going to play out and how these interactions were going to take place.
I'm a very political person. I'm a very opinionated person. I have a lot of opinions about LGBTQ representations in the media, and it's not just a gay community issue. It's a black issue. It's an Asian issue. It's a minority issue in general.
I learned that the acting I really like is when the actors did a lot of bringing themselves, and where they're at at the moment, to the character.
I absolutely believed Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger loved each other in 'Brokeback Mountain.'
