  • Quotes
    [on The Young Victoria (2009)] I was never a tough Quebecer who resents the monarchy, I wasn't an Anglo-basher. It's like I didn't care. Now I can say I have respect for the establishment they represent, even though they're born rich and live in palaces.
    • Dysfunctional and colorful protagonists
