Canadian comedians are generally more well-rounded... They have to do a lot more. In order to have a career in this country, you have to do everything. And in the States you can narrow-cast, you can be just a sitcom performer or a stand-up comedian or a sketch performer.

I'm not a wilting flower. I'm honest, so I pick a lot of fights. I've burned a lot of bridges.

I think Canadian humor is a little less broad than American humor.

In Canadian comedy, you'll almost never see guns. If you bring a gun into a scene, it's like, 'Whoa! Wow, how are we going to deal with that!' Guns in an American comedy are a given. Violence in America is used in a much more cavalier way.

A lot of gay men are in delusion if they think they're super macho.

People don't listen when you lecture. No one wants to be talked down to or scolded.
