Life has a very simple plot: first you're here and then you're not.

I used to have a house in London, but couldn't face 20 more years of St John's Wood in the rain.

I interviewed Matt [Stone] and Trey [Parker], actually, and I got to ask them questions. I love them deeply because they appeared dressed as J-Lo and someone else [who had worn the same scandalous dresses the year before at the Oscars]. They confessed they were on acid.

No day of my life passes without someone saying the words 'Monty Python' to me. It's not bad.

I liked doing live things, and with the Circus we had a live audience.

I listen to the audience and try and bounce with them. All audiences are different. But they are all homo sapiens.

The Minister of Transport issued this appeal to motorists: Can anyone give him a lift to Leicester?
