In bed at night, I could be reading some book, and I'll come across a sentence that's totally unrelated to some scene I did years ago. But I'll play the scene back in my mind and think, I did that wrong - I should've opened the door more slowly. Liam Neeson
Shawn Ashmore quote: "Comic books and The Chronicles of Narnia. My mother used to..."
