    • Quotes
      [on playing an incompetent nerd in 'My Awkward Sexual Adventure] There is a precedent for awkward sexuality in cinema. The Judd Apatow stuff is kinda grazing along those lines, but I felt that we hadn't told something from the Canadian experience yet. I really liked the idea that only a Canadian guy would be so obvious and so open about his lack of knowledge, and his insecurity and his vulnerability. The thing that's been most shocking to me is the women that are coming up to me after the screenings. I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm being propositioned, but it's pretty close. This is a guy who's defined by his cluelessness when it comes to a woman's body. I mean, how is that attractive?!
