I have had issues with depression all my life, and it's probably true to say there was a tendency towards it even when I was very young, during my schooldays. There was often - and this is quite common with comics - a sense of not feeling as if I belonged anywhere.

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.

They call it 'surfing' the net. It's not surfing. It's typing in your bedroom

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

One of my friends went on a murder weekend, now he is doing life for it.

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