Having a kid is like falling in love for the first time when you're 12, but every day.

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

I had done Shrek as a Canadian and I'm very proud to be Canadian, but I knew I could give more to it.

I've been involved with Shrek for eleven years, so you'd better like Shrek if you're going to be involved with it for eleven years. I do, I like it a great deal, so I enjoy it.

Canada is the essence of not being. Not English, not American, it is the mathematic of not being. And a subtle flavour - we're more like celery as a flavour.

Canada is a country of ingredients without a cuisine; we're a country with musicians without an indigenous instrument; Toronto's a city that doesn't even have a dish named after it.

Enlightenment is lightening up.
