abstract explore humor opposed side sitcom stuff typical usual
I'd like to explore the more abstract side of people's minds, as opposed to the usual sitcom stuff. I don't want to do the typical sitcom-type humor. I'd want to do stuff like go bowling with pineapples.
buffet crab great love whenever
I love seafood. Whenever I'm in Las Vegas, I love going to the Bellagio buffet because they have these great king crab legs.
I'm an American citizen now, but I will always have Canadian pride.
amateur
Well, you know, I just did the old 'let's go down to amateur night,'
movies star three
he says. ''I've been able to star in three movies in my career, and I still haven't done that.
onto scenes
The thing is, you never know with any movie how it's going to turn out. It's always a mystery - you'll do pages and pages of scenes that will never make it onto the screen.
bit ended quite saw stunned
In 'There's Something About Mary' and 'Dumb & Dumber,' I ended up improvising quite a bit of my scenes, and later I didn't even remember what I'd said because I just winged it. When I went and saw the movie, I was as stunned as everyone else was.
excited hometown oh yes
I'm really excited to come back to my hometown (of Toronto), oh yes indeed, I'm back! Daddy's back in black.
people panic enough
Executives and studios really like to have control over their product. They panic or they're not secure enough to trust in the powers of really amazing improv people.
flower garden thinking
I think people should maybe just go out into the garden and watch a ladybug crawl across a flower and relax their mind. That's about all you need to know about life, I think.
believe mind looks
Everything's a conspiracy and everything's not a conspiracy. You could look at this planet and go, "This is all a conspiracy. God made this to test us to see if we'll use the nukes." You can let your mind believe anything.
sex jumping people
I love the theater of the mind because you can go anywhere. You can say anything, and you pull people in. [You] can be jumping out of a window or riding a cow or having bubble-wrap sex or spraying your body with Pam and sliding out of your chair.
fun laughter cartoon
I just tried to create a life for myself that's full of fun and fantasy and things that equal laughter. My life's been cartoons and comedy and acting, and it's just been a fun life.
school math drawing
Animation wasn't my love, but drawing was. I loved drawing, and when it came time to graduate from high school, I looked around and it was like, "Wow, I don't really want to study math. I don't really want to study science. I don't really want to study literature. Is there a place where I can go and draw cartoons?"
