I had a blast, but I still wonder sometimes why they saw me as the perfect guy for this strange character.
Mike Myers
It is much more easy for a Spanish person to love themselves than a Canadian person.
Mike Myers
Everything I do is autobiographical in some way. 'Wayne's World' was me growing up in the suburbs of Toronto and listening to heavy metal, and 'Austin Powers' was every bit of British culture that my father, who passed away in 1991, had forced me to watch and taught me to love.
Mike Myers
I love making comedy. I never stopped loving it. I will continue to love it and I can't believe that I get to do it.
Mike Myers
Here's the plan. We get the warhead and we hold the world ransom for... ONE MILLION DOLLARS!

Europe is scooters. Europe is five young people on one bench sharing a chocolate bar. Their idea of entertainment and fun is so much different than ours, which is exactly why a movie about them would be funny.

When I graduated from high school, I got accepted to York University, Fine Arts film program.
Mike Myers
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.
Mike Myers
I've been involved with Shrek for eleven years, so you'd better like Shrek if you're going to be involved with it for eleven years. I do, I like it a great deal, so I enjoy it.
Mike Myers
I'm basically a sexless geek. Look at me, I have pasty-white skin, I have acne scars and I'm five-foot-nothing. Does that sound like a real sexual dynamo to you?
Mike Myers
Uh oh, this guy needs coffee and croolers stat.
Mike Myers
I'm from Toronto. It's a lot more laid back. When you are thrust into different environments, there is an odd adaptation period. And then there are times when unfair, unkind, untrue things are written about you. That bothers me less now.
Mike Myers
Very good training to just be a person is growing up in Canada. People say a lot of things about Canada, like that it's boring, but if you look around the world, you can praise boring. It's a very civilized place to grow up. I'm very proud of it.
Mike Myers
With fame there is a crosswire between intensity and intimacy. You have decoy intimacy, but you are also very much alone.
Mike Myers
Having a kid is like falling in love for the first time when you're 12, but every day.
Mike Myers
Canada is a country of ingredients without a cuisine we're a country with musicians without an indigenous instrument Toronto's a city that doesn't even have a dish named after it.
Mike Myers
Comedy. It was just huge in my house. Peter Sellers and Alec Guinness, Monty Python and all those James Bond movies were highly regarded.
Mike Myers
And I loved the whole idea behind the story, which is that you're beautiful, so don't let other people tell you that you're not just because you don't look like the people in magazines. Or because you're not that weird ideal body image that's out there right now.
Mike Myers
I loved the logistical reality of a guy who wants to take over the world, yet who has a family too.
Mike Myers
I grew up in Toronto and as long as I can remember, as long as there was cable, even those old cable boxes that were wired to the TV, there have been Bollywood movies on Toronto TV.
