"With fame there is a crosswire between intensity and intimacy. You have decoy intimacy, but you are also very much alone."

"And I thought, when I have kids, that's the sort of well told, silly, and fun fairy tale that I would want to take them to. But it was an amazing experience. And I think Shrek is a real classic, a fairy tale classic."

"I think that Scottish people, like Canadians, are often misunderstood and what I like about my Scottish friends and relatives is how quickly it can go from love to anger. It's a great dynamic."

"Austin sounds a little bit like Aston Martin, which is the type of car James Bond would drive."

"And I love Mel Brooks. My Dad loved his movies, too, they're awesome, the kind of thing that if you're in for ten minutes, you're in for two hours."

"My Dad was from Liverpool, and he picked it up in the army. He'd often come out with this stuff."
