I love New York City. I love that I get to live there and I love everything about it.

For me, everything definitely comes from music.

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

Marriage can be viewed as the waiting room for death.

I love making stuff. There's a joy in having the first molecule of an idea, then testing it in front of audiences at secret shows that people only know about the day before. I videotape those, study them, enjoy being in the character and figuring out the movie.

Everything I do is autobiographical in some way. 'Wayne's World' was me growing up in the suburbs of Toronto and listening to heavy metal, and 'Austin Powers' was every bit of British culture that my father, who passed away in 1991, had forced me to watch and taught me to love.

Silly is you in a natural state, and serious is something you have to do until you can get silly again.
