What I Don't Like Is Dance Music

I Don't Like Comedy That I Think Is Bad Comedy, Where People Are Trying To Be Sick For The Sake Of It, Where There's No Intellectual Point Behind It. I Like Stuff That's Got An Underlying Point Of View.

I Do Like To Make People Cringe. That Discomfort, Tension, Embarrassment, Pain - All Of Those Things Interest Me, And Not Through Some Sort Of Masochistic Or Sadistic Impulse. It Illuminates What Being A Human Being Is. It Taps Into What It Is To Be Human More Incisively Than Stuff That's Just Very Pedestrian.

When I Was A Student I Was Very, Very Ambitious, Completely Immersed In My Comedy Career. I Never Had That Period Of Reckless Hedonism That You Should Get Out Of Your System In Your Youth.

What Tends To Happen In Most Movies Is That Strip Clubs Are Used As A Short Hand For Unsympathetic, Sleazy People. And That's Just A Lazy Cliché.

I Am Of The Very Last Generation Who Didn't Have Computers At School. As We Grow Old We'll Become Something Of An Aberration.
