For me, the showbiz memoir is uninteresting - you want to tell people something they don't know about.

I think that my ideas of the world are that it's random and cruel but kind of quite comical really, and therefore the humour, in a sense, springs from that.

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

Honestly, sometimes I get really fed up of my subconscious - it's like it's got a mind of its own.

It seems easier to make a career out of comedy now than it was in the 1980s.

You can't do comedy with a beard.
