I Want My Work To Be Judged,

The Rest Of Europe Tends To Be Very Comfortable With Sexuality. The British And The Americans Are Kind Of Hung Up About It.

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 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.

I Enjoy Comedy But It Can Become Wearisome.

If You Are A Great Dramatic Actor Then You Often Don't Know If People Are Enjoying Your Stuff At All Because They Are Sitting There In Silence. But With Comedy It's A Simple Premise. If It's Funny, People Laugh. If It's Not, They Don't.
