In the world of comedy, there's this: "If it's going badly, get off. If it's going well, get off". You can't argue with that either.

"The harder you work, the luckier you get" is true in all things.

You can leave a kid alone and it will learn to fend for itself, how to work the remote, a tin opener, and the microwave. I see the holidays as a chance for kids to learn self-sufficiency.

I'm a natural born show off. I love performing, and at school we had a really good music scene and an even better drama scene. When I got to university, I played in bands and did sketch stuff and it was always about coming up with material, which is why I never really practised and have no chops!! When I left uni, I carried on playing and trying out at stand-up.

It's a weight problem isn't it; you can't wait for lunch.

Thanks to the internet, I buy lots of music, but thanks to my easily distracted nature, I forget about half of it!

I read a lot. I spend of lot time thinking. It actually looks like I'm doing nothing, but... hanging out with clever and interesting people is a must if you're writing comedy, like hanging out with a good bass player when you're a drummer.
