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

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.

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.

I really hated fighting people and hurting them, but felt unable to stop.

Make lots of money. Enjoy the work. Operate within the law. Choose any two of three

And people are intrigued if I really am as grumpy in real life. People feel a bit let down if I'm laughing or smiling.
