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.

If the way they make the show makes it fresh, then it's worthwhile. I think all of these forms have to be blown up every now and then and start again.

The only way you can really deal with creative people is with very loose reins.

You can tell a lot from someone's eyes.

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.

I can't concern myself with how viewers feel.

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