I grew up in the suburbs of Toronto, where everything was in a strip mall.

It takes so long to put a movie into production and finish it that anyone with a bad idea has time to give it to you before the movie is completed.

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

When I was in school, all our history books were American, so we learned American history, not Canadian history.

Well, I've lost my wife. I've lost my job. I've lost 20 MINUTES OF MY LIFE! Damn the decaf.

In a lot of ways, it was a huge relief, not being a member of a troupe, being able to make your own decisions and kind of live your own life.

There's something about strip malls that just reeks of my childhood.
