I hate movies. They're so boring. So tedious.

My first professional job was appearing in a disastrous theatre production of Oh, What a Lovely War in Leicester Rep, shortly after leaving Cambridge.

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

If the studios paid the artists, how would they ever be able to afford the executives?

Life doesn't make any sense, and we all pretend it does. Comedy's job is to point out that it doesn't make sense, and that it doesn't make much difference anyway.

Everybody has their own free choice to do what they want.

I don't invest in the stock market, but I have pension funds - some in America and the UK.
