I've met big-name actors doing Hollywood films, and they've said that all they want is an in at HBO and their own show.

It takes me ages to write stuff.

I'm not interested in being one of those comedians who wants to look good and be this 'cool' funny person. I don't care how weird or ugly I look.

I get bored with the constant probing for the cliched tears of the clown, the dark side of the comic.

Playing girls is cool, but its a lot more fun playing boys.

You can't get any better than TV on HBO, ABC and BBC3.

I find actors a little bit too self-conscious.
