When I found out I had cancer, I just said one thing: 'I want to hold on to life' and that changed everything for me.

My theory is that comedy comes from little people.

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

I resented that my career wasn't going the way that it was supposed to. And I was angry that I wasn't getting the parts that I wanted.

I think a case could be made that there's sort of a crisis of masculinity in the West. Particularly with white males.

Activism isn't about holding your faults up to the light. That's what comedy is about, it's about saying, 'Look at this person who is so flawed and frail and damaged. And we're all this frail and damaged so let's laugh at it.

I think the Canadian sense of humor is dryer than America's and juicier than Britain's. I think it's a cross between the two of them, really.
