The actual process of filmmaking, the many hours out of your life- it is very slow and boring. I'm not interested in that now unless an opportunity was provided for me.

Well, I took a sabbatical. I walked away from shooting movies because I couldn't handle the travel. I'm a single parent. I had young kids, and I found that keeping in touch with them from hotel rooms and airports wasn't working for me. So I stopped.

What we see is what they're trying to sell us.

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

And we had the perhaps unfair advantage of not having to worry about what an audience was gonna think. We were in a vacuum. We were making little short films, really.

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

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