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

I wanted to write about how people's beliefs shift.

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.

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

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

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

Everyone I used to work with is still alive and can afford expensive lawyers.
