I didn't think I'd ever be able to do movies. That was for serious actors.

I never had any master plan about directing, and I don't really write.

I think all comics borrow from each other. Only a few have an original voice, and I wasn't one of them. In the end, I couldn't figure out who to steal from, so I stopped doing it.

My real training as an actor was when I started doing theatre.

Casting is everything. Getting the person that you imagined is this character and then seeing what they bring to it.That's why you hire them, so why tell somebody first what it is you want? I'm more curious to see what they bring to it and then be inspired by it and say: "OK, what if you tried this?" or "What would happen if ... ?"

I suppose things are better now, but ... I don't know. People still hate each other, they just know how to hide it better.

The trend now is to shoot in Canada because it's cheaper, and they don't care what the location is.
