If Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.

I spend my jollity on stage, so there is less in my own life.

I find myself by default an atheist but fairly unhappily so. It would be bloody marvelous if there was a god.

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

Christians, you and your churches don't get to be millionaires while other people have nothing at all. They're your bloody rules! Either stick to them or abandon the faith.

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

There are a lot of comics at the top end making staggering amounts of money and selling out stadiums. I think stand-up is a more intimate thing than that. Maybe because of the kind of comedy I do. It's like a discussion, but I'm the one with the microphone.
