"In France, everyone speaks French 'cause they think it's cool. Gives 'em, gives 'em an excuse to smoke."

"I'm not really cool, or dashing, or any of those things."

"When I was younger I wanted to be a big movie star who'd get to be funny on talk shows and then I wanted to retire and write science fiction."

"When you are not treated seriously, you develop comically. Its sense of oneself is so fractured and fragile that it's like the picked-on kid who has to become funny."

"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."

"I think Canadian humor is a little less broad than American humor."
