I don't subscribe to any particular doctrine or ideology. I just think that there's kind of a good and bad, the good being life in its purest, happiest form, and the other being the darker side of existence.

My age makes me think how valuable life is. How bad is something like Parkinson's in relation to not having life at all?

My whole life, meeting people is like a blind date, because I feel like they've already seen the video on me.

The story is a testament to the consolations that get me through and give meaning to every area of my life.

There's always failure. And there's always disappointment. And there's always loss. But the secret is learning from the loss, and realizing that none of those holes are vacuums.

I have a remarkably normal life.

There's something I have about being Canadian - there's a distance it gives you when you live in the States and operate in American culture. You approach familiar things a different way; you come at it from a different angle. It's a trait that runs through a lot Canadian artists' work and actors' work and musicians' - that kind of special remove.
