The British Often Shy Away From Any

Guide Dogs For The Blind. It's Cruel Really, Isn't It? Getting A Dog To Lead A Man Round All Day. Not Fair On Either Of Them.

Comedy Can Be Silly And Gross And Offensive, As Long As There's Sort Of A Point. You Can Make A Joke That, On The Face Of It, Is Racist. Ostensibly Someone Can Appear To Be Racist, But If You Know You're Making A Point About Race, And Not Just Being Pig-headed, Then You Can Do That. I Think Some People Who Don't Understand Comedy Will Have A Knee-jerk Reaction To Some Stuff, And Will Always Be Offended By It Because They Don't Understand It. Some People React To It In A Vociferous Way, Which Is Unsophisticated, But There's Always Going To Be Those People Out There.

Most Of All I Don't Want To Be Bored. That's Why I'd Rather Do Something That Has Some Sort Of Ambition, That Risks Failing, Rather Than Make Safer, More Comfortable Choices.

I Always Find It Easier To Portray Myself As Being Unlikeable And Idiotic; To Actually Play A Character That Is Likeable And Engages The Audience Is Far More Difficult. It's A More Subtle Kind Of Challenge.

I Like To Do Movies That Provoke Rather Than Reinforce Conservative Values.
