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?"
eye triangles pumpkin
Pumpkins are the only living organisms with triangle eyes.
thinking monkeys saws
I think life would be so much funnier if every day you saw someone walking down the street getting hit in the head by a monkey.
artist perspective comedian
Canada has been a breeding ground for great comedic actors, sketch artists and stand-up comedians. We grew up with a different perspective on the world.
character boys voice
I used to do little sketches into my cassette tape recorder when I was a little boy. I would just turn it on and just start doing voices and characters. I just loved it.
nice hate kids
I hate when you go into a nice restaurant - someplace where youre going to spend good money - and there are kids in there crying.
real silly thinking
The thing I love about sketch is sometimes it leads you as opposed to you leading it. So, I don't go out there [thinking], "Oh, I want to make this as silly as possible." In fact, sometimes I get the most enjoyment out of a sketch that plays very real - and it's so real that it's just funny.
cities goes-on schedules
I dont go on tour tours - I just go randomly to cities to do shows if I have an opening in my schedule.
cities guy grew
I grew up on Don Knotts and Jerry Lewis and all the guys from Second City.
three netflix problem
The problem with binge-watching on Netflix is that you lose three days of your life.
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.
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.
