I am always looking for what I think are original voices.

I think that Canadians have an incredible reverence for authority and regard for authority, and I think one of the healthy ways that it's challenged is through questioning it, through the polite hostility of comedy.

People go to the zoo and they like the lion because it's scary. And the bear because it's intense, but the monkey makes people laugh.

A guy comes home from college to find his mother sleeping with his uncle, and there's a ghost running around. Write it good, it's Hamlet; write it bad, it's Gilligan's Island.

Even the most powerful people at a given point in terms of class, will all play by the same rules.

To me there's no creativity without boundaries. If you're gonna write a sonnet, it's 14 lines, so it's solving the problem within the container.

One advantage of getting older is knowing when to worry.
