I Was Never Into Candy And Games

I Think The British Learn Their History Through The Prism Of This Gallery Of Grotesques Known As The Royals.

I Have A Very Strong Visual Memory Of The First Time I Made Him Laugh. That Was Remarkable. I Was Like, "oh, God, I Just Made Jack Benny Laugh."

My Parents Didn't Want Me To Be A Regular In A Series. I Was A Working Actor From Time To Time But They Thought Was A Little Too Much Being A Star Of A Series. They Wanted Me To Have A Slightly More Normal Childhood.

Because I Don't Do Stand-up, Radio Has Always Been My Equivalent, A Place To Stay In Connection With The Public And Force Myself To Write Every Week And Come Up With New Characters. Plus It's A Medium That – Having Grown Up With It And Putting Myself To Sleep With A Radio Under My Pillow [as A Kid] – I Love. No Matter What Picture You Want To Create In The Listener's Mind, A Few Minutes Of Work Gets It Done.

I Think In Most Cases, If You're With Good People, Comedy Creation Happens Faster In Collaboration. That's How I Can Tell If It's A Good Collaboration: If It's Faster Than Me By Myself, Then It Works. If It's Slower Than Me By Myself, Then I Get Out Of The Room.
