Tension is wonderful for making people laugh.

If I can get you to laugh with me, you like me better, which makes you open to my ideas

When you do comedy in front of an audience, they are the ones who tell you whether it's funny or not and which bits are funny and which bits need to be fixed.

I find the Alexander Technique very helpful in my work. Things happen without you trying. They get to be light and relaxed. You must get an Alexander teacher to show it to you.

For me, the great problem growing up in England was that I had a very narrow concept of what God can be, and it was damn close to an old man with a beard.

I think that I feel an indignation when I don't understand something.

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