Dad was in the British Army and my mom was in the Royal Air Force, so both of my parents believed in discipline.

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.

Anyone who tells you fatherhood is the greatest thing that can happen to you, they are understating it.

Everything I do is autobiographical in some way. 'Wayne's World' was me growing up in the suburbs of Toronto and listening to heavy metal, and 'Austin Powers' was every bit of British culture that my father, who passed away in 1991, had forced me to watch and taught me to love.

Europe to me is young people trying to appear middle-aged and middle-aged people trying to appear young.

Austin sounds a little bit like Aston Martin, which is the type of car James Bond would drive.

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.
