| Quotes: |
The anti-elitist values in America, I think, are very destructive to education.
<br />
<hr>
I was born in Vancouver, moved to Los Angeles and when my parents split up, gradually moved back up the west coast. I was able to pack a lot of experience into my 19 years. My parents getting divorced was obviously a very traumatic experience. And then after, it was just me, my sister and my mother, and we went at it alone. I went from being a very well-off little kid to having a couple rough years, to rebuilding, my mother did that. She and I are very close.
<br />
<hr>
"I think Uma Thurman is one of God's creatures, one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen".
<br />
<hr>
I love Vancouver. I can be with my family, I can reconnect with the guys. It will always be my home.
<br />
