I am not racked with self-loathing. Some issues of guilt and shame, but I'm a pretty good guy.

I became hugely overweight and then hated myself because it was a form of self-abuse, something over which I had no control. I think the thing compulsive over-eaters want to achieve is that stuffed-full Christmas afternoon feeling.

I'm more pompous and self-assured and determined that if - you know - if the truth can be told so as to be understood, it will be believed.

Never Google yourself. Seriously, don't!

I rarely fly, for environmental reasons more than anything else.

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

All my shows are therapy, trying to navigate interesting subjects so I can work them out and to be honest and say some things are beyond the wit of this man.
