Comedy is like music. You have to know the key and you have to find players with good chops.

I spent more time in America, but I developed a very English sense of humour. I clicked into it deeply with Peter Sellers, who is still probably my favourite comedian.

We all know many people who have been through this reality, and how it changes them. This happens to be an area I know something about. It's a virus.

I painted sets before I ever performed.

Folk musicians have a lot of the same self-importance, but they're way more cruel and jealous than rock musicians - I know this for a fact because I used to be a folk musician.

People want me to be funny all the time. They think I'm being funny no matter what I say or do and that's not the case. I rarely joke unless I'm in front of a camera. It's not what I am in real life. It's what I do for a living.

I'm married to the person I fell in love with.
