Directing 'The Office' is kind of like someone going, 'Would you like to drive my Lamborghini?' And I'm like 'Yes, I would like to drive your Lamborghini. That sounds like fun.'

I am an obsessive flyer, myself.

Yeah, I was born in Montreal and I go back to Vancouver and Toronto a lot, so I have a sense of being Canadian, and I was raised by two Canadians, and my wife is Canadian, so yeah, I feel it.

Most people see a documentary about the meat industry and then they become a vegetarian for a week.

I think it's a mistake for young filmmakers to just buy digital equipment and shoot a feature. Make short films first, make your mistakes and learn from them.

Comedy and horror are cousins; they're related. They both come from storytellers who want to specifically affect the audience and elicit specific reactions during the movie.

I'm a believer that people need to understand that filmmaking is not a perfect process for anybody. It is a process in which you find the film and the film finds you. And that is every film.

With each one of my films, I'm exploring one of my own issues and I try to expose myself a little in the film.

I don't know why I'm drawn to anti-heroes, but I certainly am.

Really, it's the director's job to disappear and allow the movie to just feel.

I'm really attracted to authors who take on really tricky material with a very open mind and take a subject matter that you wouldn't think would be a comedy.

Why not go out on a limb? Isn't that where the fruit is?

I couldn't see how we could seriously struggle without having a strong sense of collectivity, without being responsible FOR each other and TO each other.

With him in defense, we could play Arthur Askey in goal. (after signing Ron Yeats)

What is it we value? Innovation. Originality. Novelty. But most importantly...timeliness. I fear you may be too late, my confused, unfortunate, friend.

Singing is something that I'm always happy to do it and going in the studio I never felt any pressure. I just feel like I get to sing, you know. It's fun.

I had to be honest with myself and that I felt hatred then, but as children say "I hate you", it's not really hate, you know, it's anger.

I love all the things there are, and of all fires love is the only inexhaustible one; and that's why I go from life to life.

We rob men of a greater vision of God because we will not give them a lower vision of themselves.

Thats how we survive infinity - we kill it by breaking it up into small bits.

Canadians are so easily wounded.
