I'm best known as a stand-up comedian, but I'm a good actor in the right role.

I realised that to compare your insides with other people's outsides leads to unhappiness.

If you go on stage with an agenda, you have to accept not everyone's going to agree with it.

My purist comedy friends accuse me of being a Jack of all trades and master of none.

I went to China for a brief working visit, and I thought that Shanghai was interesting, but Beijing totally grabbed me.

The most successful comics are always the hardest-working ones.

I think Ross Noble is the only person that I've seen really storm a stand-up slot at a festival, and that was when he led 3,000 people on a conga out of the tent and across the entire site to a vegetarian food truck.
