If You Chase Something Too Desperately, It

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

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.

To Me, Most Theatre Looks Ridiculous. I Find It Very Difficult To Do. Personally, If I Ever Try To Do Serious Stuff, I Always End Up Looking Like An Asshole, So I Might As Well Try And Do Comedy, Because I'm Good At That.

I Always Think That, Even When People Behave Badly, If You Like Something Deep Inside Them, Then There Is A Tiny Bit Of Nobility - They Wish They Could Be Good.

But With Comedy It's A Simple Premise. If It's Funny, People Laugh. If It's Not, They Don't.
