Laughter is a force for democracy.

Sci-fi has never really been my bag. But I do believe in a lot of weird things these days, such as synchronicity. Quantum physics suggests it's possible, so why not?

English television from the Fifties to the Nineties was the least bad in the world, and now it's just as bad as it is anywhere.

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.

Who's ever going to write a film in which I get the girl? Me!

Always start where the energy is.

A wonderful thing about true laughter is that it just destroys any kind of system of dividing people.
