family grandparent sandwiches
Maybe there is no actual place called hell. Maybe hell is just having to listen to our grandparents breathe through their noses when they're eating sandwiches.
proud canada made
My upbringing in Canada made me the person I am. I will always be proud to be a Canadian.
believe fire chance
Take a chance on faith. Not religion, but faith. Not hope, but faith. I don’t believe in hope. Hope is a beggar. Hope walks through the fire and Faith leaps over it.
happiness powerful men
Imagine if you could actually be that happy? That would be powerful, man. People would be tunneling under the street to avoid you. They'd go 'Oh, man - is that happy guy still out there?
good-morning beautiful coffee
I wake up some mornings and sit and have my coffee and look out at my beautiful garden, and I go, 'Remember how good this is. Because you can lose it.'
real romance feelings
Movies are great, but the real romance happens right here somewhere as real close-up. Either you're the one erasing or you're the one being erased, so... It's not a pleasant feeling!
sex said surgery
I said yes to so many things, from a sex change to gastric by-pass surgery, so it's always paid off for me.
wish answers rich
I wish everyone could experience being rich and famous, so they'd see it wasn't the answer to anything.
people trying limits
Maybe other people will try to limit me but I don't limit myself.
want kicking honest
I'm not in a recession. I'm doing very, very well. I'm doing incredibly well. I just want to be honest. I really am kicking ass.
funny fans recognition
Ever since I started to get recognition I've picked out certain fans and reverse-stalked them.
moving people guy
I never thought I was finished when people said I was finished, or any of that stuff. I always had this undying belief that even if I was in a wheelchair and I could only move my finger, somehow I would become the guy who does the amazing thing with his finger.
letting-go jobs father
My father could have been a great comedian, but he didn't believe that that was possible for him, and so he made a conservative choice. Instead, he got a safe job as an accountant. When I was 12 years old, he was let go from that safe job, and our family had to do whatever we could to survive. I learned many great lessons from my father, not the least of which was that you can fail at what you don’t want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.
regret
Usually you regret the things you say no to.
