I'm not really a celebrity; I'm just vestigially left over from doing stuff from before.

I love being an older comic now. It's like being an old soccer or an old baseball player. You're in the Hall of Fame and it's nice, but you're no longer that person in the limelight on the spot doing that thing.

Life took over 4 billion years to evolve into you, and you've about 70 more years to enjoy it. Don't just pursue happiness, catch it.

I like the idea of being out there regularly with an audience and with a funny gang of people. That's what I grew up with - doing television, doing shows every week.

There's animals like us existing and thinking and giving interviews on Australian television.

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