I Want My Work To Be Judged,

Sadly, I Can't Say The Same For My Father, Who Is Probably In A Different Place - Hell.

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.

In My Mind God Made Adam And Eve, He Didn't Make Adam And Steve.

I Am Not A Politician Going Around Bragging About Family Values Or Putting Myself On Some Ridiculous Virtuous Pedestal. I Write Comedy. And I Am An Actor. I Am Not Going To Solve The Nation's Problems. I Don't Actually Spend My Life In The Way The Tabloids Like To Think I Do. I Actually Spend 95 Percent Of It Writing Comedy. Sober. Well, Nearly Sober Anyway.

I'm Just Attracted To Playing People Who Are Ostensible Unlikable. That's Not To Say That There's Something In There That Makes You Care. It Might Be That You Just Find Them So Awful That You Just Can't Stop Watching, Like A Car Crash.
