If someone starts agreeing with me, I don't like it. Out of pique, I become something else.

Dire Straits is a great band. Someone tells you they like ""Brothers in Arms"" and immediately you know they're a stupid annoying git.

The optimum frequency with which comedians should do a series is every year. I do one every three years. My audience is literally dying off.

People used to think I was just a shouty comic but I was doing stuff about Sartre.

Even a blind dog can find a bone every so often.

I don't think people were that interested in what I was doing for the most of the 1990s.

I exist as an annexe of the BBC. I'm down the road a bit from the main building, in a little hut.
