I Hate People Who Think It's Clever

I Spent The First 25 Years Of My Life Not Knowing What I Wanted To Do.

Mmmm... The Comedy That Matters Is The Comedy You Pull Out Of Thin Air. It's A Bit Like When Something Funny Has Happened And You Try To Explain It To Someone Else And End Up Saying, 'you Had To Be There'.

I Tend Not To Trust People Who Live In Very Tidy Houses. I Know That On The Surface There Is Nothing Wrong With A Person Being Well-ordered And Disciplined. Nothing, Except That It Leaves The Impression Of That Person Having Lived In The Confines Of A Stark Institution Which, Although He Or She Has Long Since Left, Remains Within.

I'm Not Really Part Of Any Group Or Clique Or Gang Because That's Always Been My Nature.

Well, I Don't Ever Get Excited. I Haven't Been Excited Since I Got A Chopper Bicycle When I Was About 12. Once You Get Older You Realise There's Always A Catch To Everything. So When I Get, Say, A Commission To Make A Tv Show, The Catch Is That You Have To Deliver Something And Then The Sense Of Responsibility Overwhelms The Joy Of The Occasion.
