More quotes by 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.

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.
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.
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
I had done Shrek as a Canadian and I'm very proud to be Canadian, but I knew I could give more to it.

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
The interesting thing about life is, there is what you think is going to happen, and what actually happens.
Mike Myers
Dr. Evil got shortchanged in the first one. The family dynamic between Scott and Dr. Evil - the adventures of being an evil single parent - needed to be explored.
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.

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
Austin sounds a little bit like Aston Martin, which is the type of car James Bond would drive.
Mike Myers
Enlightenment is lightening up.
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 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
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
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
Once I turned 35, I got the bonus of some wisdom and began to accept life on its own terms.
Mike Myers
Everywhere I go, people come up to me on the street and ask me if there’s going to be another one!

My dad loved to laugh. He was very funny and very silly.
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.
