I am drawn more towards Russian films owing to their compelling camera work, because of my own inclination towards cinematography.
I had no inclination to perform as a kid. I was a shy child – I always had my nose in a library book. I didn’t start acting until I went to college. Once I started, it seemed to fit like a glove. I felt completely at home on stage. It was the perfect way for me to express myself, even better than writing.
I guess my natural inclination is to finish what I started. We have a Conservative government in Nova Scotia. What I want to see is a Conservative government in Ottawa.
Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.
If you have overcome your inclination and not been overcome by it, you have reason to rejoice.

As children we were bombarded by competing answers. Church says one thing, school another. Now as adults it’s no surprise that if we discuss the nature of it all, we generally spout some combination of the two, depending on our individual inclination and mood.
My first inclination was toward flying and being a pilot.
The moment someone asks you to do something you don’t have the time or inclination to do is fraught with vulnerability.
In a small powder room, the inclination is to go with a light wall color. My trick is to do the opposite – such as a patterned wallpaper or a deep color on the walls. It’s more interesting and makes a design statement.
At Harvard I majored in chemistry with a strong inclination toward math.
How can you be a recluse in a house full of children, even if you had the inclination to be, which I don’t?
I’m a working class lad. So at 25, and with no-one in our family having any theatrical inclination, when I said, ‘I’m going to scratch all that and become an actor,’ I may as well have said I was going to be a Premiership footballer for the chance I’d have.
