A World Without Any Lies At All

Funny Bones, To Me, Are More Important Than Funny Lines. If A Comedian Is Just Not Likable And Doing The Lines, You Could Read Them Yourself. Whereas If Someone [you Like] Shambles Out, And They Tell You What A Bad Day They've Had, They Don't Have To Say Anything. I Love Them. I Want To Hug Them Because They've Been Through Something. And It Comes Back To Empathy, Always Empathy.

I Think The Best Advice I'd Say To Any Actor When You Do Comedy Is Play It Straight.

Someone Asked Me What Three Things I Would Save If My House Was On Fire. I Said My Cat, My Salamander And One Of The Twins.

Got A Proper Job At 28. Gave It Up To Try Comedy At 38. Decided To Get Fit And Healthy At 48. It's Never Too Late. But Do It Now

We Only Do What We Think Is Good And What We're Happy With. I Do That In Stand-up, I Even Do It With My Children's Books. I Don't Do Market Research, I Don't Have Focus Groups, I Don't Care. I Don't Care If It Fails, Honestly. I'd Rather Have Something That's Completely Mine Fail Than Something Succeed That I'm Not Proud Of.
