And I love Mel Brooks. My Dad loved his movies, too, they're awesome, the kind of thing that if you're in for ten minutes, you're in for two hours.

Most comedians want to be the architect of their own embarrassment. They have horrible self-esteem issues. I would rather push myself into the mud. I don't want to be pushed into the mud. I think that is probably true. I think most people struggle with self-acceptance. But comedians get a chance to self externalize.

My dad loved to laugh. He was very funny and very silly.

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

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.

I grew up in Toronto and as long as I can remember, as long as there was cable, even those old cable boxes that were wired to the TV, there have been Bollywood movies on Toronto TV.
