Quotes

Tom: It would be embarrassing to say how seriously we take it, but anyone who is involved in beer-league hockey in Canada knows how important it can be. My father used to say 'hockey matters', and I would definitely agree with that. (edit)
Tom: (in having lived in Africa) It is a pretty great existence over there; I didn't know how to swear, they didn't have television or film--a really good existence, I would say. (edit)
Tom: I've done my fair share of embarrassing things to woo the girl, and with the same kind of results, I think -- with them hollering, "Get out of here, you punk! What are you doing in that fish outfit?" (edit)
Tom: (on doing "Ed") I feel very fortunate to come and do a show where the scripts are good , where the castmates are unbelievable and the crew is great. It couldn't be a better situation. (edit)
