I get bored easily. I've been bored most of my life.

I have several times made a poor choice by avoiding a necessary confrontation.

Either people walk round dressed as chickens or they listen to Beethoven.

I tend to have an odd split in my mind: I tend to look at it as a writer and when the writing thing is OK and I'm happy with it, then I put on my actor's hat.

I want to write a book which is the history of comedy.

What's the bleedin' point?

I can do anything I want, I'm eccentric!
