I came out wanting to be an actor. From my first view of the world, that's what I wanted to be. I'm made of 99 percent ham and 1 percent water. I was just cooked that way!

I can be described as many things, but no description of me is complete without saying 'Englishman.' My parents were from Liverpool and emigrated to Canada before I was born.

With fame there is a crosswire between intensity and intimacy. You have decoy intimacy, but you are also very much alone.

And I love Mel Brooks. My Dad loved his movies, too, they're awesome, the kind of thing that if you're in for ten minutes, you're in for two hours.

Oh, you know, driving around, coming to a stop sign and an entire family, from 8 to 80, will be looking at me with that Dr. Evil look - pinkie on the mouth.

It is much more easy for a Spanish person to love themselves than a Canadian person.

Dad was in the British Army and my mom was in the Royal Air Force, so both of my parents believed in discipline.
