I believe that if a man dies with a single penny still sitting in the bank, he's a fool.

My whole thing is to entertain, make people laugh and to forget about the real world for awhile.

My first jobs were all civil service. At 14, I worked for the Canadian National Railways. At 16, I worked for the Canadian Penitentiary Service.

I get offers all the time from film makers, but they are unknown quantities. I don't go there and do experiments.

I grew up on the edge of a national park in Canada - timberwolves, creeks, snow drifts.

We have the most beautiful planet - the Rockies, the purple fields of the United States, the Lake District, the Pyrenees, the turquoise seas of the tropics.

One minute you're up half a million in soybeans and the next, boom, your kids don't go to college and they've repossessed your Bentley.
