If the studios paid the artists, how would they ever be able to afford the executives?
Never do things for money. It's always the things you do for love that turn out to pay the best.
I think comedy's often the little and the large, isn't 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.
I got locked into a tradition [at Cambridge] of doing comedy.
At Cambridge, you have to kiss the vice-chancellor's fingers. But I missed out on that, 'cause I was doing a matinee. I don't want to kiss a strange man's fingers anyway.
