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

I don't just want to upset people and shock people by saying something really outrageous.

I find actors a little bit too self-conscious.

I would love to play a British character one day. My accent wavers between Scottish and Irish very easily, though.

I have a massive guilt thing about money.

I just do what I think is funny and what's exciting to me.

I started doing comedy just as myself, because I thought, "This is what's expected, you're meant to tell stories and do observations." And then I started to realize that I wanted to mix it up a bit, so I started to doing songs, and I had a little keyboard onstage and would bring in little props. Then I thought about the idea of talking about a character and becoming the character onstage. So, it sort of morphed into being stand-up that was more character based, and I found that's the stuff I got the better reaction from and was more exciting for me.
