I don't have the desire to be the best standup in the UK but I do have the desire to be the best at everything else I do in terms of writing and acting.

I think I would just get bored to be honest. Ask any human being if they want to stay in exactly the same job for thirty years they say "No!" The ultimate cliché, 'Variety is the spice of life', is sadly true.

I think I'll always be linked to comedy. There is something about it that's such a beautiful thing. The world of drama sneers at it because people assume that it's easy but it's not at all; it's incredibly difficult.

Your future is whatever you make it, so make it a good one

In show business, never underestimate the power of saying "no".

I respect anyone who's honest to themselves and able to bring that into their work in an entertaining fashion.

I'd always written rhymes but I was scared to share them. They stayed on paper or in my head, until I started going to watch battles and eventually thought to myself, "I'm definitely as good as some of these guys, and maybe even better than them".
