Dan Levy

“A lot of queer relationships on television and in films are met with extreme tragedy.”

“My name is Dan, and I'm a technoholic.”

“I hated working red carpets, I hated the whole celebrity interview process. I just realized I'd rather be the person somebody wanted to ask questions to than the person asking the questions.”

“When I feel like treating myself, I'll either turn to food or clothes. Bad food. Expensive clothes. Ironically, I'm usually rewarding myself for a solid week of healthy eating or a nice paycheque.”

“Wise people, my parents.”

“What I loved about 'The Beverly Hillbillies' was that it was about family love and growth and understanding. The riches-to-rags premise is just the wallpaper.”

“I love food, and I'm a foodie; I try to hit as many restaurants as I can.”

“I will never have the willpower to completely swear off pizza or a good summer sale, but I'm working on realizing the difference between the occasional craving and the compulsion to mindlessly consume as a feeble means of self-medication.”

“I was such a bad red-carpet host.”

“Ironically, fashion trends, be it denim or polka dots, have a tendency to perpetuate the contrary.”

“It's quite common for a television show to start off as one thing and end up as something completely different. There are so many cooks in the kitchen - the network, the studio.”

“The best TV that I watch, I always feel safe when I'm watching it. And that could be like 'Homeland' or 'The Americans'; by 'safety,' I mean the show knows its parameters.”

“Personally, what scares me most is the thoughtlessness the Internet can perpetuate.”

“I'm a worrier by nature.”

“I have no patience for homophobia.”

“A little confidence can make the simplest of T-shirts look like a million bucks.”

“Comedy is not easy to begin with, but comedy that also dances with drama - it's so hard.”

“Valentine's Day is one of those tricky celebrations where you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. If you love it, you're buying into a holiday created to sell greeting cards, bad bouquets, and shoddy love-themed stuffed animals. And if you're opposed to it, you're considered lonely and single and have clearly never had a valentine.”

“When I was working at MTV, people would e-mail me asking where I bought my frames, and I always felt a little uneasy telling a teenager to go out and pick up a $400 pair of glasses.”

“Growing up, my height was faithfully tracked from infancy to my late teens on the door frame of my mom's office - the only place in my family's home in Toronto where writing on the walls was encouraged.”
