I Always Think That, Even When People

When You Tour You Become More Intimate With Your Audience. It's Like I Need Reassurance That They Like Me Or At Least Find Me Relevant. And That I Can Still Do It.

Comedy Is Unique In The Sense That Laughter Is A Palpable Noise That Everyone Makes.

I Never Had Any Desire To Be Famous. I Find People Who Do Really Sad. I Genuinely Feel Sorry For Them Because There Is Nothing Of Substancein Their Lives. I Am Happy When I Am Writing Or Performing. Not When I Sit There Being "famous". I Like Recognition For My Work, But Not Recognition For Being "that Bloke Off The Telly". It Is Genuinely Humbling When A Woman Comes Up To Me, As Someone Did Recently, To Say She Wanted To Commit Suicide After Her Husband Died, And My Show Cheered Her Up And Made Her Feel Better. That's Great.

The Great Thing Is That The Funny Side Of Getting Old Is Fuel For My Comedy.

Look At All Those American Preachers Who Got Caught With Their Pants Down. They Say One Thing And They Are Doing Another. I Try To Be More Honest About It, Both In My Thinking And My Behavior.
