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

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

I feel sorry for many politicians we expect them to be completely consistent and moralised when we're not.

As a comic, you try something and if it works you go with it and grind it to death.

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.

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

I always thought communism was crap, really.
