Quotes

I would consider my dad a pretty patient guy, but there was no tolerance,for spoiled behavior.

In hockey, there are no second chances, but the great thing about acting,is that there actually are. If you do a scene and you think you can do,better - take two!,I played professional hockey in Europe. I played in the German third,league and the Dutch elite league.

The Russell side of my family is a clan with some serious genetics.

My dad, in the best way possible - not in an intimidating way, but with,the physically intimidating qualities that every father has - can truly,be scary. The only time you saw that side of him, the raw side of him,would be in a moment when you truly were the one that screwed up.

I was a hockey player. I played hockey forever. That was my life and my,job until I got injured, so I get sports, and I get the sports,atmosphere, the feeling around other athletes, but I never played,football.

Anybody that lives in America and has parents with a moderate amount of,wealth can be spoiled. I see it every day - kids who are just running,their parents over to get what they want because kids are smart, and,they know they can manipulate their parents.

I went on an audition. I walked in the room, and it was Leslie Mann with,Judd Apatow. It was intimidating.

so I,immediately joined a hockey league.

The last thing I wanted to do was act, because it was the path of least,resistance.

Acting was something fun that my dad did, but baseball is what he really,wanted to do.

Recently, my dad has been teaching me a lot - like how to read a script.
