Whether were socially indoctrinated to do it or whether its some other — Joshua Jackson

"Over 17 years I have played hockey, learned to row, Ive been a dog, got blown up... It satisfies the 5 year-old intellectual curiosity, you know? Where I can do anything I want for six months and then move on."

"I dont consider myself pretty, I was never a pretty boy, Im not going to be a pretty man and its not something I truly aspire too. When I think of iconic men I think of that Forties era, of a guy in a good suit and a hat. Thats when men were men."

"I was a troubled teen, as they say. I was drinking - not smoking pot so much as was the easy choice in Vancouver and I was supposed to be a rebel - but I was angry and mixed-up and there was only one parent in my family, so there were those issues that go along with abandonment and all the rest of it."

"Im really greedy, you see. I want to do everything. I just want to get better. Fame is OK, but if my picture is in a magazine and my performance is shit, then Ive gone backwards."

"Therell always be tension between male and female friends - were animals after all, wired to accept each other on a sexual level at times. Of course we all agree to a variety of social restraints, but it doesnt mean the basic impulses arent there, and I dont think sex is an unhealthy impulse. Its only when you try to hide it and subvert it that it manifests itself in ugly ways."

"I dont feel that I need to play characters who are role models for young people. If you are only good, you leave them to explore the bad on their own."
