I don't care if people think I am an overactor, as long as they enjoy what I do. People who think that would call Van Gogh an overpainter.

My father could have been a great comedian, but he didn't believe that that was possible for him, and so he made a conservative choice. Instead, he got a safe job as an accountant. When I was 12 years old, he was let go from that safe job, and our family had to do whatever we could to survive. I learned many great lessons from my father, not the least of which was that you can fail at what you don’t want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.

I'm not in a recession. I'm doing very, very well. I'm doing incredibly well. I just want to be honest. I really am kicking ass.

My upbringing in Canada made me the person I am. I will always be proud to be a Canadian.

I'm the first to admit this whole salary thing is getting out of control. In the final analysis, it's still about the work.

It's exhausting I think to just say really yes to everything for real, even if you do it for a day.

One man's toxic waste is another man's potpourri.
