If You Chase Something Too Desperately, It

When I Was A Student I Was Very, Very Ambitious, Completely Immersed In My Comedy Career. I Never Had That Period Of Reckless Hedonism That You Should Get Out Of Your System In Your Youth.

I Am Of The Very Last Generation Who Didn't Have Computers At School. As We Grow Old We'll Become Something Of An Aberration.

I Happen To Have A Public Profile. Ditto Newspaper Editors. It's A Result Of What I Do, Not An End.

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.

I Think It's Always Funny When You See Kids Do Shakespeare. When I Was At School, I Was In Hamlet. I Played Claudius, Who's Supposed To Be A 60-year-old Man, And I Was Like 18. It's Inherently Ridiculous Seeing 18-year-old Boys With Gray Beards. That's Always Funny.
