Quotes
[June 1999] Austin Powers was born out of trying to celebrate my father's life. My
father's favorites were mine -- Peter Sellers, Monty Python, Peter Cook and
Dudley Moore . . . my dad was a guy who loved to be silly; he had a highly
prized sense of humor. When I would bring friends home to play table
hockey in the basement, if my dad didn't think they were funny, he
wouldn't let them in the house. "They can't come around", he'd say. :They're not bloody funny!"
