I think that Scottish people, like Canadians, are often misunderstood and what I like about my Scottish friends and relatives is how quickly it can go from love to anger. It's a great dynamic.

Dad loved movies and I grew up with British comedy. My ultimate favourite is Peter Sellers.

My Dad was from Liverpool, and he picked it up in the army. He'd often come out with this stuff.

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

My dad sold encyclopedias and my mom worked in a factory office.

My father was always a straight-up funny guy. He was silly. He was my inspiration.

People ask me to record their answering machines all the time. I love it. It's a miracle to me that people want to hear back those characters.
