Laughter's the nearest we ever get, or should get, to sainthood. It's the state of grace that saves most of us from contempt.

I must be the luckiest man in the world. Not only am I bisexual, I am also Welsh.

And even in the hatred of the majority, there's a kind of triumph because I know that, although they'd never admit it, they secretly respect me.

A refined sort of butcher, a woman is.

Don't clap too hard - it's a very old building.

I never deliberately set out to shock, but when people don't walk out of my plays I think there is something wrong.

Don't be afraid of being emotional. You won't die of it.
