A lot of queer relationships on television and in films are met with extreme tragedy.
Quote by -Dan Levy
Gay relationships have historically not been treated the same as straight relationships.
Quote by -Dan Levy
It's important to tell queer stories and to show queer relationships in a very normal setting.
Quote by -Dan Levy
A lot of queer characters get painted with either a caricature brush, or they're used to teach, in a way.
Quote by -Dan Levy
I always try, if I can, to travel before I start a writing project. For me, travelling is my education. It inspires me, and it clears my mind and allows me to come back with a cleansed palate.
Quote by -Dan Levy
Entertainment seems to be the only arena where children who pursue the work of their parents, which is an inherently natural thing to do, is met with a lot of skepticism.
Quote by -Dan Levy
People always ask about my dad and his comedic influence. It's funny because my mom is really the comedian of our household.
Quote by -Dan Levy
My parents have always had this philosophy that overindulging your children is one of the worst things you could do as a parent. It's something that was hammered into my head growing up. And while my mom and dad are not professional authorities on parenting, I can confirm from experience that they had a point.
Quote by -Dan Levy
No one does cool, catchy pop music like Robyn, and 'Hang With Me' is a testament to that.
Quote by -Dan Levy
At the end of the day, I'm from Canada, and so there will never be a time when I'm suddenly not Canadian.
Quote by -Dan Levy
I never pictured L.A. as a hub for amazing food, which I learned quite quickly is sheer naivete. The restaurants here are insane.
Quote by -Dan Levy
I've read about actors trying to prevent their kids from getting into it, and I think that's from what they themselves experienced in the industry.
Quote by -Dan Levy
We've become accustomed to repurposing and living vicariously through other people's work instead of going out and making our own.
Quote by -Dan Levy
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.
Quote by -Dan Levy
Masculinity involves feminine qualities, and femininity involves masculine qualities.
Quote by -Dan Levy
Personally, what scares me most is the thoughtlessness the Internet can perpetuate.
Quote by -Dan Levy
I'll take a carb any day of the week, but if I'm being pressed, then I'm sort of into the standard bagel.
Quote by -Dan Levy
I wasn't necessarily aware of what my dad did, but I was aware that wherever we'd go, there would be attention. I was never comfortable with it.
Quote by -Dan Levy
As a Canadian, we are sort of inherently built with an unshakable humility that at times can work against you.
Quote by -Dan Levy
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.
Quote by -Dan Levy
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.
Quote by -Dan Levy
Comedy is not easy to begin with, but comedy that also dances with drama - it's so hard.
Quote by -Dan Levy
The fact that I like to buy inessential things to make myself feel better is neither a secret nor something I'm particularly proud of. And I know I'm not alone.
Quote by -Dan Levy
I'd rather create something that gives people a very strong reaction than create a show that someone looks at and says, 'Hmm. Fine.'
Quote by -Dan Levy
My mom asked me one day at lunch in a very lovely and respectful way. I was finally comfortable enough to say yes, I was gay, and it really was never talked about again.
Quote by -Dan Levy
Sometimes circumstance blinds us at first from seeing people for who they really are.
Quote by -Dan Levy
The sole forms of social interaction I was aware of as a kid involved a jungle gym and a sticker book. It was only in high school that ICQ - a prehistoric form of instant messaging - was first incorporated into my cultural vocabulary.
Quote by -Dan Levy
My mother was in labour for two full days before having me on a sunny August afternoon. She went into labour on the 7th, and I chose to make my big entrance on the 9th.
Quote by -Dan Levy
Very few ideas are better than Catherine O'Hara's ideas when it comes to acting.
Quote by -Dan Levy
I think because there is the constant looming threat of nepotism and judgment, I really tried to separate what I was doing at MTV, my auditions, anything I was doing creatively, from my family.
Quote by -Dan Levy
I was raised before the advent of DVD players in cars and iPads at the dinner table.
