You really come to life on stage but outside - this is a bit of a sad clown cliché - there is that element of loneliness you get from travelling and being on the road. Stand-ups can bring a lot of that to a dramatic role and make it work for them.

I'll just keep going till people get disinterested. It's what I was born to do and thankfully, people have shown an interest. I never do anything to be famous.

I got into music via the competitions; the first time I ever performed was in a kind of rap battle, competing for money.

In terms of a comedy plan I don't really have a list of what I want accomplish. I'm just riding the wave! I think I will always come back to stand-up and comedy in all its forms. I just don't think it will ever be the one sole thing I do.

There is no better education than rap battling in terms of performance. It makes you fearless.

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.

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