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

A lot of those comics can't hold down relationships and they've got no other life apart from performing. They sleep in their Jags and a lot of them can't even talk. All they can do is tell gags.

Americans have different ways of saying things. They say 'elevator', we say 'lift'... they say 'President', we say 'stupid psychopathic git.

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

I've been going to Granada for many years and 12 years ago bought a house a few miles outside the city.

Now, as a comic, if you're vaguely amusing you can go straight into TV, then you play the O2 and then everyone's sick of you.

It always seemed to be a constant that my parents were political.
