Life Is A Comedy When Watching And

To Me, The Musical Is Best When It's A Musical Comedy. So If You Have A Very, Very Funny Show, And Very Good, Funny Songs, That's What The Musical Does Best.

Executives Do Not On The Whole Do Well With Comedy. They Can't Understand It, They Can't Read It, They Can't Spot It.

When, In 1966, I Progressed To The Frost Report, I Was Paid Ten Guineas A Minute. I Was Guaranteed Three Minutes A Week, So This Was Good Money.

When We Graduated [ From Cambridge], We Were Grabbed Right Into Television. I Was Grabbed Straight Into The Practice Of Writing Comedy. It Was All Writing And Performing. You Wrote Something In Order For You To Perform It.

I Like Doing Live Things And Plays. You Can Perfect The Laugh Or Extend The Laugh, You Can Get Them On A Roll. Versus Improv, Which I Hate. Put It All Together. They're More Vignettes. Improv Makes Me Slightly Anxious Because I Feel For Them.
