The film industry is like Anne Robinsonalways on the look-out for a new face

I was so keen to become a comedian that actually doing the comedy itself almost came second.

I love mixing with comedians when I'm working with them, but when I'm not I don't feel the need to hang around with them.

Comedy and tragedy are two sides of the same coin. A talent in one area might also lead to a predisposition in the other.

Depression is something that has always figured in my life but now I'm dealing with it. I wish I'd done this years ago because it's been really helpful.

I tend not to trust people who live in very tidy houses. I know that on the surface there is nothing wrong with a person being well-ordered and disciplined. Nothing, except that it leaves the impression of that person having lived in the confines of a stark institution which, although he or she has long since left, remains within.

People who are pro smacking children say, 'It's the only language they understand.' You could apply that to tourists.
