There's a joy in having the molecule of an idea, then testing it in front of audiences at secret shows that people only know about the night before.
I was well indulged as a child by my relentlessly self-improving, working class parents to express myself.
I write everything I do. On the average, it takes you about sixty months from the first molecule of an idea to it being in front of an audience. I'm actually somebody that creates their own stuff.
In 1991, my father passed away and I went on a spiritual quest. It was a light one, not too terribly deep because I'm not terribly deep, and neither was my father.
On my death bed, I'm not going to say, 'God I wish I did more movies.' I'm perfectly happy I was present for the ones I did.
Shooting this one was kind of like a two month party, we would literally play music between takes, and other movies that were shooting on our lot would play hookey, come over and hang out and stuff. We had a great time.
My father and mother emigrated to Canada in 1958, but there's nobody more English than an Englishman who no longer lives in England, and our home was a shrine to all things English.
We've not prepared well this week and it's cause to pause. I'm afraid my guys don't understand the pain and frustration that comes with being embarrassed by your rival.
Tonight I had to cover Leach and I take that as a challenge. Our defense played well tonight. The guys are quick and make great touches.
You don't win unless you have the seventh and eighth inning covered with someone outside of your closer. It's nice to see middle relievers get their due.
We're expecting a lot better sales due to the large freshman class. Also, we are looking forward to the football season when things cool down and we get into 'pizza weather,'
Having a kid is like falling in love for the first time when you're 12, but every day.
Silly is you in a natural state, and serious is something you have to do until you can get silly again.
Everything I do is autobiographical in some way. 'Wayne's World' was me growing up in the suburbs of Toronto and listening to heavy metal, and 'Austin Powers' was every bit of British culture that my father, who passed away in 1991, had forced me to watch and taught me to love.
