More quotes by Mike Myers
If I went by all the rejection I've had in my career, I should have given up a long time ago.
Mike Myers
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
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.
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
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
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
The Holy Roman Empire was neither holy nor Roman nor an empire. Discuss.
Mike Myers
Here's the plan. We get the warhead and we hold the world ransom for... ONE MILLION DOLLARS!
Mike Myers
Enlightenment is lightening up.
Mike Myers
I like my privacy. I love being a part of [films], but when I'm not doing stuff, I like to go away. I enjoy being a person, a great deal.
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
The peanut is neither a pea nor a nut. Discuss.
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.
Mike Myers
And I love Mel Brooks. My Dad loved his movies, too, they're awesome, the kind of thing that if you're in for ten minutes, you're in for two hours.
Mike Myers
I like smart jokes, I like dumb jokes, and I like dumb jokes done smartly.
Mike Myers
Anyone who tells you fatherhood is the greatest thing that can happen to you, they are understating it.
Mike Myers
I've been frozen for 30 years. I've got to see if my bits and pieces are still working.
Mike Myers
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
Having a kid is like falling in love for the first time when you're 12, but every day.
Mike Myers
