I think that I recall the nostalgic '50s: the start of early television and rock-and-roll, and I think everything seemed to get very generic. Not much has changed.

I pulled out of making movies in about '96 or '97.

Evil will always triumph, because good is dumb.

I had spent years working in radio at different stations in Toronto; I wasn't in the stage company of Second City.

Well, whether it's on film or on TV, you don't want to throw too many curves at your audio and video guys.

I don't think I've ever had a plan or direction for myself. I've actually made decisions based more on what I didn't want to do than what I wanted to do.

On the last couple of movies I made - big-budget Hollywood movies - I really missed being able to create my own material.
