I feel entirely grateful and appreciative of being able to make something up and do it, and I'm very grateful how well it's gone. I'm a guy from Toronto who just wanted to be an actor since he was eight so it's all kind-of crazy. Shrek has been wonderfully successful, it did really well in the States, and so it's magical to me, still. I'm still that kid from Toronto.

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.

When I graduated from high school, I got accepted to York University, Fine Arts film program.

At every point I wished that I was born English. They need to make it colder in here. You could hang meat in this room. But, yeah...I grew up in a very English household. My folks were from Liverpool. I've said this before, but there is nothing more English than an Englishman that no longer lives in England.

You can't think of risks. I have nothing to lose. You either make something that you like, or you don't, and you throw it to the universe.

Dr. Evil got shortchanged in the first one. The family dynamic between Scott and Dr. Evil - the adventures of being an evil single parent - needed to be explored.

I think when I have kids and grandchildren I will be very proud to have them watch this movie.
