    • Brent: Brent Butt and Brent Leroy are pretty similar. I don't know if I'm a skilled actor or not, so I made the character exactly like me.
    • (on signing a distribution deal to show "Corner Gas" in the US) Brent Butt: We get so much American programming up here in Canada, it's nice to be able to give a little something back. Something besides Celine Dion I mean.
    • (discussing his show, Corner Gas) Brent Butt: This is a show that just happens to take place in Saskatchewan the same way Seinfeld just just happened to take place in Manhattan. But it wasn't about New York, it was about those people. It's the same kind of philosophy I had with Corner Gas.
