Comedy And Tragedy Are Two Sides Of

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.

Maybe I Fear Things Going Wrong So Much That I Pre-empt Them By Not Getting Excited About Them When They Appear To Be. Going Well.

I Was So Keen To Become A Comedian That Actually Doing The Comedy Itself Almost Came Second.

I Love Mixing With Comedians When I'm Working With Them, But When I'm Not I Don't Feel The Need To Hang Around With Them.

I Have Had Issues With Depression All My Life, And It's Probably True To Say There Was A Tendency Towards It Even When I Was Very Young, During My Schooldays. There Was Often - And This Is Quite Common With Comics - A Sense Of Not Feeling As If I Belonged Anywhere.
