I love making comedy. I never stopped loving it. I will continue to love it and I can't believe that I get to do it.

I'm a comedic actor, not to mix words, but it's something I think about. A comedic actor. I like to think that Christopher Guest, Phil Hartman, Peter Sellers and Alec Guinness are comedic actors. And Dan Aykroyd, too. Those are my heroes.

My theory is that all of Scottish cuisine is based on a dare.

I had a blast, but I still wonder sometimes why they saw me as the perfect guy for this strange character.

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

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.

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.
