I'm Gonna Hump Ya. Like Deputy Dog...

I'm Not Like A Politician That Goes Around Talking About Family Values. And I Can't Get Fired From Being A Funny Person Because I Did Something That Most People Are Disapproving Of. I Think People Are Just Obsessed With This Morality That People Perceive As Being The Right And Wrong Way Of Doing Stuff.

I'm A Huge Fan Of Jack Lemmon, He Was Someone Who Managed To Tread That Line Between Comedy And Tragedy And Sometimes Give Very Big Performances, But They Were Never Over-demonstrative And They Were Never Not Based On A Kind Of Real Truthful Human Being.

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.

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.

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.
