My father was a very funny man, and one of my strongest recollections is hearing him laugh. He didn't like people who had no sense of humour.

I loved the logistical reality of a guy who wants to take over the world, yet who has a family too.

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

Well, I like how people talk. I like language. You know, Linda Richman spoke in Yiddish.

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.

I still believe that at any time the no-talent police will come and arrest me.

I would love to be a father. I had a great father who taught me how gratifying that is. I'm not going to deny myself that. I think I'd be good at it. Everybody wants that experience. I definitely do.
