Quotes

[on SCTV colleague Joe Flaherty:] I talked to Joe last week. I was supposed to go see him this week, and I went to Hawaii with the family, and now I'm riddled with guilt that I did that instead of going to see him. When I got off the plane, I got a text from his daughter and it just said "Joe passed away." I stared at my phone in just shock and disbelief.

It was horrible to have all the laughs and all the fun and all the years of working together reduced to three words: "Joe passed away." Not because I wasn't expecting it, but because of the kind of finality of everything about the man that I'd grown to know and love, had been reduced to three words. That was awful.

[on his student days:] I also remember that even back then, Marty [Short] and Eugene [Levy] and I liked the good life and there was a very posh (and expensive) restaurant called Shakespeare's in Hamilton where we would go and blow an entire month's meal money on one dinner. We went there to eat and drink as often as we could afford.
