QUOTES

  • Joshua Jackson: If girls were going after me, I would not only admit it, but I would probably exaggerate about the swarming masses. I can flirt and have fun, but at the end of the day, I'm not Tom Cruise. Girls are not falling all over me. edit »
  • Joshua Jackson: I'm of the opinion that life doesn't always tie up neatly at the end of the episode. edit »
  • Joshua Jackson: Most people call my style of dress slovenly, I call it extreme casual. If I didn't have a mother and a sister for the times I do have to get dressed, I would be absolutely lost. edit »
  • Joshua Jackson: (how he looks at his future) In an optimistic way: it's part of life and career, trying to move on, taking challenges on your job and solving personal problems. I try to move on knowing that I can't always be successful and sometime I may fail. My goal is to keep the non-success rate always lower that the success one. edit »
  • Joshua Jackson: I think Uma Thurman is one of God's creatures, one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. edit »
  • Joshua Jackson: I love Vancouver. I can be with my family, I can reconnect with the guys. It will always be my home. edit »
  • Joshua Jackson: Nobody criticizes the 'Mighty Ducks' trilogy and gets away with it. Nobody! edit »
  • Joshua Jackson: 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. edit »
  • Joshua Jackson: The anti-elitist values in America, I think, are very destructive to education. edit »
  • Joshua Jackson: You know, at the end of the day, I can only be me. I could try to convince you that I'm Leonardo DiCaprio; I could try to convince you that I'm Edward Norton; I could even try to convince you that I'm Julia Roberts. But I'm Josh. And I don't want to spend my time projecting a false image. edit »
  • Joshua Jackson: I hate people saying anything stupid. I don’t really suffer fools very well at all. When people are acting like idiots, not that I’m not guilty of doing the odd idiotic thing myself from time to time, but when people say stupid things, it stresses me out. I have a pretty thick skin about people coming up to me and saying things to me when I’m out, I don’t really mind that too much. but when people are just loud and annoying, it drives me crazy. edit »
  • Joshua Jackson: I've had more of an opportunity to work with Katie Holmes, which is incredibly enjoyable. I think she is really one of the best actresses on the market right now. She forces you to bring your best stuff to the table, because if you don't, she just completely overpowers you. edit »
  • Joshua Jackson: I got two marriage proposals from Japan after the Mighty Ducks movies came out. From Japanese girls. Yeah. The nation of Japan. They wrote me letters and expressed their desire to have my hand in holy matrimony. It's bizarre. edit »
