There's a sort of magic and music to comedy. Some words, some numbers even, are funnier than others. A Caramac bar, for instance, is funnier than a Milky Way.

It's easier not to make a particular joke in case it offends. But every joke will offend someone, and I've always believed that the audience is bigger than one person. The danger is that things will become bland.

It's important when you're married not to forget those things you used to do when you were trying to get her to marry you. You can't send flowers and buy gifts then, when you're married, say, 'Right, get my tea on'. That doesn't go down well. So you've got to keep that level of interest going.

There's something about being a comedian that means you have to not be scared of failing because failing is part of the process.

I would recommend that anyone who wants to do comedy on TV to do radio first.

I just want to be happy, have kids, enjoy my life, help others and create some good work.

I don't get recognized much, and am very happy with that. The fans I have met have all been delightful.
