More quotes by 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
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.

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.

I'm a comedic actor, not to mix words, but it's something I think about. A comedic actor. I like to think that Christopher Guest, Phil Hartman, Peter Sellers and Alec Guinness are comedic actors. And Dan Aykroyd, too. Those are my heroes.

My dad loved to laugh. He was very funny and very silly.
Mike Myers
Oh, you know, driving around, coming to a stop sign and an entire family, from 8 to 80, will be looking at me with that Dr. Evil look - pinkie on the mouth.
Mike Myers
People ask me to record their answering machines all the time. I love it. It's a miracle to me that people want to hear back those characters.

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
Comedy and sausages are the two things that if you know how they're made they affect the appetite.

Austin sounds a little bit like Aston Martin, which is the type of car James Bond would drive.
