Comedy. It was just huge in my house. Peter Sellers and Alec Guinness, Monty Python and all those James Bond movies were highly regarded.

I think when I have kids and grandchildren I will be very proud to have them watch this movie.

And I thought, when I have kids, that’s the sort of well told, silly, and fun fairy tale that I would want to take them to. But it was an amazing experience. And I think...

My Dad was from Liverpool, and he picked it up in the army. He’d often come out with this stuff.

I met Kevin when I was 19, at a Second City workshop. We were paired up together in the first class I went to. By the end of the class we formed our improv group,...

Austin sounds a little bit like Aston Martin, which is the type of car James Bond would drive.

My parents would read those books to me as well but they used to make me starving when I was a kid because they were always eating ham sandwiches with the crusts off and drinking...

I think the Internet’s been a tremendous tool in terms of breaking down the power structure of information and entertainment, particularly at a time when so much information and entertainment were in the hands of...

Cameron is incredibly charming. I’ve seen Charlie’s Angels four times.

My theory is that all of Scottish cuisine is based on a dare.

I think we carry around the idea of being a Kid in the Hall as part of our identity. It’s a big part of how we see ourselves now.

Europe is scooters. Europe is five young people on one bench sharing a chocolate bar. Their idea of entertainment and fun is so much different than ours, which is exactly why a movie about them...

Shooting this one was kind of like a two month party, we would literally play music between takes, and other movies that were shooting on our lot would play hookey, come over and hang out...

If somebody came up with a really good idea, everyone would back it. Especially when we did the show, we had a real dedication that, if you were in somebody else’s scene, everyone worked their...

Europe is weird songs that would never make it in America.

So they ended up turning this little twenty eight page book into the movie. And it’s all about this stinky, smelly ogre who doesn’t care what anybody thinks of him.

NBC is working with a team of astrophysicists to create a new day of the week.

Europe to me is young people trying to appear middle-aged and middle-aged people trying to appear young.

The message of the movie is to accept who you are and not to succumb to the pressure of what the media tells you is beautiful and what you should be looking like.

Stand-up comedy and poverty. Those were my two main endeavors.

For me, everything definitely comes from music.

Well, I like how people talk. I like language. You know, Linda Richman spoke in Yiddish.

We put a lot of work into three minutes.

I do miss Saturday Night Live, that’s for sure. There’s nothing like it. I just hosted, and I felt I’d only been away for a week.

When you’re writing these things, you’re in a room making each other laugh, you really have very little sense of political correctness or incorrectness. This is a question that Europe tends to ask and America...

The important thing to remember is that bugs don’t actually talk.

I had a blast, but I still wonder sometimes why they saw me as the perfect guy for this strange character.

I have very happy memories of fairy tales. My mother used to take me to the library in Toronto to check out the fairy tales. And she was an actress, so she used to act...

Canada is the essence of not being. Not English, not American, it is the mathematic of not being. And a subtle flavour – we’re more like celery as a flavour.

I had done Shrek as a Canadian and I’m very proud to be Canadian, but I knew I could give more to it.
