If it were up to me, every job would be somewhere in Canada.

It's something I want to do going forward - make a movie that is commercial and universal and will play in any movie theater or living room in the States or the UK, but is definitively Canadian. I don't think there's such a thing as prohibitively Canadian.

I like writing strong women, because as a straight male, there's nothing more attractive to me than a strong girl.

If you want to make god laugh, make a plan.

No one has a resume that they are 100% comfortable with, nor does anyone have a life that they are 100% comfortable with.

I'm a massive movie nerd. That being said, I could retire tomorrow because I wrote this movie 'Goon' and it came out, and it connected and it's a wonderful flick that I think is beautiful and then it had this wonderful life and it means a lot to a lot of people.

What I love about [TV] is this: It's a specific thing to be able to tell a satisfying, rewarding story in less than 25 minutes. Not everyone can pull that off. There's something really cool about giving lit people a bunch of little mini movies.
