A satisfied customer. We should have him stuffed.

The sad thing about true stupidity is that you can do absolutely nothing about it.

I think it takes a long time, as you get older, to realize just how crazy the world is, just how ridiculous it all is.

My views are heretical to people who believe in political correctness.

The writing is the most important bit, and performing it is just closing the circle because I'm less likely to screw it up than anyone else.

I was very sad to hear of the death of Ronnie Barker, who was such a warm, friendly and encouraging presence to have when I started in television. He was also a great comic actor to learn from.

Political correctness is a bit like a granny, a maiden aunt arriving at a party when everyone's having a good time. And she comes in, they all start sort of buttoning up and becoming self-conscious and behaving properly and then when she leaves, you can have fun again.
