Having a kid is like falling in love for the first time when you're 12, but every day.

Canada is the essence of not being. Not English, not American, it is the mathematic of not being. And a subtle flavour - we're more like celery as a flavour.
Mike Myers
With fame there is a crosswire between intensity and intimacy. You have decoy intimacy, but you are also very much alone.

Justin Timberlake is the single most talented human being I've ever met in my life, and it sickens me. He is, like, 12 years old or something! He has 0 percent body fat, he is musically gifted, he has a great ear for accents, and he is hilarious.
Mike Myers

Mike Myers
I had a blast, but I still wonder sometimes why they saw me as the perfect guy for this strange character.
Mike Myers
I would love to be a father. I had a great father who taught me how gratifying that is. I'm not going to deny myself that. I think I'd be good at it. Everybody wants that experience. I definitely do.
