I think comedy's often the little and the large, isn't it?

When I was 23 I started writing for I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again and was paid three guineas for every minute's airtime.

Life is a comedy when watching and a tragedy when experiencing. I try and share anything I have.

I never pay any attention to figures.

One of the reasons we moved to L.A. in the first place [was] so that it was no big deal that I was in show business. We decided if we move[d] to L.A., then everyone in one way or another was involved in it.

I get to be the first doctor in the family [because of the honorary degree they're giving me].

I like doing live things and plays. You can perfect the laugh or extend the laugh, you can get them on a roll. Versus improv, which I hate. Put it all together. They're more vignettes. Improv makes me slightly anxious because I feel for them.
